  • Python Success Stories

    Python Success Stories This article was previously published on Builder.com Introduction Software engineers have long told their bosses and clients that they can have software "fast, cheap, or right," as long as they pick any two of those factors. Getting all three? Forget about it! But United Space Alliance (USA), NASA's main shuttle support contractor, had a mandate to provide software that meets all three criteria. Their experience with Python told them NASA's demands were within...

  • Python Success Stories

    Python Success Stories Introduction This article shows how I integrated Python, COM, DocBook, OpenJade, and Word together to create a documentation tool for BEACON, a visual programming environment. This documentation tool was used for code reviews in the software development methodology at my company, and led to significant (>$1M) in cost savings. Before starting this project, I had no prior experience using SGML, XML, or other document markup languages. It was only when I was perilously ...

    Python Success Stories First published in Linux Journal, May 2000. Copyright 2000 Specialized Systems Consultants, Inc. All rights reserved. Introduction My first look at Python was an accident, and I didn't much like what I saw at the time. It was early 1997, and Mark Lutz's book Programming Python from O'Reilly & Associates had recently come out. O'Reilly books occasionally land on my doorstep, selected from among the new releases by some mysterious benefactor inside the organization u...

  • Parade of the PEPs

    ...downloads? A "vote on this package" form? What is the original author planning to do? PEP 245 - Python Interface Syntax - Pelletier Jim Fulton has said that this PEP was premature. I agree. It introduces a new keyword, 'interface', and I'm not yet convinced that that is needed. On the other hand, the way this is currently done in Zope also looks butt-ugly, so something may indeed be needed. I think that at some point in the future when we have more experience with using inte...

In March, we heard that at least an earlier version of the proposal was accepted by DARPA; the work has begun late 1999 and will hopefully last two years, although we've only received funding for the first year (through October 2000). We're keeping our fingers crossed for the rest. Unfortunately, the move of the Python developm...

Core Fixed two bugs reported as SF #535905: under certain conditions, deallocating a deeply nested structure could cause a segfault in the garbage collector, due to interaction with the "trashcan" code; access to the current frame during destruction of a local variable could access a pointer to freed memory.
