    ...what people expect. Python facilitated our Property manager implementation in other ways as well. One PyDrone feature that had been requested by users was the ability to describe a new prediction using an equation based on existing properties. For example, an equation might look like: 0.34 + (0.78*CLOGP) - (0.018*HBA) - (0.015*HB_TOT) - (0.11*MM_HADCA) - (0.017*MM_QON) + (0.012*VDW_POL_AREA) where the variables are keys in the Property manager. This was quite easy to implement in Python, and we ...

    ...what more complex than most of the Python code, these results confirm without any doubt that working in Python is far more productive than working in C or C++. In hindsight, we believe that we could have converted smaller units of code into C, by writing more general data-driven processing engines, and by more carefully selecting code to convert instead of converting whole modules at a time. Our primary goal for Python in the future is to be able to use it more often, even in performance-critica...

    ...What I really needed was a Python API to quickly generate nicely typeset copy in Word 97 for a limited set of documents, but in 2001 there was nothing available to do this. My only alternative was to find an open standard for typesetting that could be translated into Word 97 format after documents had been generated. Shopping for a Standard To find a solution, I spent some time surveying available open source typesetting solutions. The two most popular are TeX and DocBook, both of which are su...
