    ...closed source programs that were prohibitively expensive. We looked at some open source tools as alternatives. OpenDX had just been released to the public and at that time was hard for me to get up and running. OpenDX was also a fairly complex system with a steep learning curve. Another visualization/graphics library, VTK, was also available as open source. VTK is an extremely powerful visualization library written in C++. It is very portable and runs on various flavors of Unix, Windows, and...

    ...closer to new-style classes. I haven't made a start with this work, and I think maybe it's not necessary -- the classic clas simplementation may as well remain exactly the way it is, until it is simply dropped in Python 3000. Somewhere along the way, when we believe that most users are using new-style classes anyway, we should add warnings for uses of old-style classes. The PEP could be used to describe the timeframe for these warnings. But before then, we should first make sure that t...

    ...closely tailored to the client's needs and requirements, without the significant overhead incurred by the unneeded parts of CMF or Plone. Because Python allows for very rapid development, this choice was not at odds with the very tight initial deadline on the DisabilityInfo project. In two weeks, a working prototype was ready to show to the client. The first production quality release of the software only took an additional three weeks, building directly upon the prototype. By using Python, main...

However, the spawn family of functions on Windows create (at a low C level) the same set of open files in the spawned process Q as were open in the spawning process P. If a temp file f was among them, then doing f.close() in P first closed P's C-level file handle on f, but Q's C-level file handle on f remained open, so the attempt in P to delete f blew up with a "Permission denied" error...

    ...closed the decision was the fact that it would have taken about three months to port the BSL code base to C++. It took two weeks to port it to Python. This project eventually replaced almost every component of the original system. Areas of functionality that relied heavily on low-level APIs were rewritten in C++. The user interface was also rewritten in C++, in order to make use of the Visual Age User Interface Class Library. All of these components were addressable through a CORBA-like distribu...

    ...closely to complicated database relationships, making management and further development very difficult. Thanks to the marketing efforts of several large server vendors, our solution space was quickly identified. What the company needed was "Web services", or put simply, a way for a client application to talk to the server side in a reasonably standardized manner. Our customer was already using two of the dominant technologies in this area: Microsoft's .NET and BEA's WebLogic J2EE serv...

Please refer to the attached P&L for details.: PyCon Revenue $789,161.70 PyCon Expense 634,310.64 ---------- Net Profit $154,851.06 AR is up, primarily because of the 48K PyCon room commissions due to us. The Hyatt invoices were paid in early June, but that is not reflected in the May numbers, so AP is also up by $335K. Donations for the month were $2,626. This includes $1,891 in donations to the PSF received as part of PyCon re...

Queries to the Access database are done through an ODBC connection using the value from the database key array to determine what city information is associated with a given location.
