See the comp.lang.python.announce posting guidelines for guidelines on submitting announcements. It is also available as a moderated mailing list, python-announce. Subscribing can be do...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...modules As Python was used more widely, extending and customizing in-house software became a lot easier. By writing in Python, users could recombine wrapped software components and extend or enhance standard CG applications needed for each new image production run. This let ILM staff to do exactly what a production needed at any given time, whether that meant allowing for a specific look for an entire show, or just a single CG character or element. As it turned out, even some of ILM's non-techni...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...modules allow us to turn very fast cycles during development. The current codebase is about 30K lines of code, written over the last year or so. I do a lot of the prototypes, mockups, etc., but Christian has implemented most of the current codebase himself. The productivity that Python provides over the "mainstream" languages is profound. We've also found the application stack to be very robust. As our flagship application, ProjectPipe is mission critical. If it proved unreliable to ou...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...modules while translating the code base into Python. Refactoring the Perl code without moving to Python would have produced comparable architectural results, but Python's explicit error handling and stronger type checking helped to considerably improve the code's robustness. The current version of PyDrone uses about 20 different external binaries and scripts to predict various molecular properties. When an external program works correctly, then the output is easy to parse into the desired result...

This is the standard location for third-party or built from source frameworks, including the ActiveTcl releases. If frameworks of the proper major version are not found there, the dynamic linker looks for the same version in /System/Library/Frameworks, the location for Apple-supplied frameworks shipped with macOS.

There's a new C API that implements the dir() function: PyObject_Dir().

Larry Wall, its creator, is rightly considered one of the most important leaders in the Open Source community, and often ranks third behind Linus Torvalds and Richard Stallman in the current pantheon of hacker demigods. At that time, I had used Perl for a number of small projects. I'd found it quite powerful, even if the syntax and ...
