  • Python Success Stories

    ...Python? Python was chosen for this project for a number of carefully considered reasons: Portability: We knew that we needed an extremely portable language - and Python runs everywhere. Access to Source: We knew that we wanted the source code for whatever language we chose. Forming a startup is risky enough without having to worry about being completely dependent upon somebody else to fix bugs in your tool set. Python is open source with an unrestrictive license. Ability to Integrate: We had no...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...Python. This shows that Python is not just a toy. It is a powerful weapon for solving real problems. There was one concern raised in the beginning of the project: Would Python be fast enough to deal with the real-time demand of the production process? In the CD/DVD partitioner, Python and Linux work perfectly as long as the fastest required response time is greater than 1 millisecond. For faster applications, a real time OS may be required to provide sufficiently fast and precise response tim...

  • Standard Exception Classes in Python 1.5

    ...Python 1.5 Standard Exception Classes in Python 1.5 (updated for Python 1.5.2 -baw) User-defined Python exceptions can be either strings or Python classes. Since classes have many nice properties when used as exceptions, it is desirable to migrate to a situation where classes are used exclusively. Prior to Python 1.5 alpha 4, Python's standard exceptions (IOError, TypeError, etc.) were defined as strings. Changing these to classes posed some particularly nasty backward compatibil...

See below for arguments to setup.py and what happens when it's run. Also, nobody disagreed with my contention that the system should work on "extensions" (ie. modules written in C) or plain ol' "modules" (written in P...
