  • Python Patterns - An Optimization Anecdote

    ...Python-C API, so I expected at most modest speed up compared to f7(). Given the effort of writing and testing an extension (compared to whipping up those Python one-liners), as well as the dependency on a non-standard Python extension, I decided not to pursue this option... Conclusion If you feel the need for speed, go for built-in functions - you can't beat a loop written in C. Check the library manual for a built-in function that does what you want. If there isn't one, h...

  • New-style Classes

    ...Python 2.7 and old-style classes has been removed in Python 3. Please refer to the Python tutorial and the Descriptor HowTo Guide for more up-to-date documentation about classes and descriptors respectively. Unfortunately, new-style classes have not yet been integrated into Python's standard documentation.

    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...

    Location: London United Kingdom

    The SWC is pioneering open-source approaches (such as Aeon) to study behaviour and brain function over long time scales (days to weeks). Processing and analysing this data represents a considerable challenge due to the scale and the complexity of such long-term recordings (e.g. drift of electrophysiological recordings). We are …

  • Summary of "Extension Building" Session

    ...Python script tentatively called setup.py (the fact that this name overlaps somewhat with the module description file in the Python distribution and in many large module distributions is deliberate, and may be construed as a bug or a feature). 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...

  • SIG for Ultra Large-Scale Systems

    ...Python. The term "Ultra Large-Scale Systems" comes out of the research that was done in 2005-2006 by the Carnegie Mellon Software Engineering Institute's ULS Systems team. It entails the "creation" of systems of the next 10-20 years (and possibly beyond), systems that will be too large for current design, development, management, and interaction practices. These systems will come into being through amalgamated services united to provide solutions for a particular (potentially...
