    ...forecast. The Architecture ForecastWatch.com is built from four major architectural components: An input process for acquiring forecasts, an input process for acquiring measured climatological data, the data aggregation engine, and the web application framework. There are two main input processes in the system: The forecast parser, and the actuals parser. The forecast parser is responsible for requesting forecasts from the web for each of the forecast providers ForecastWatch.com tracks. It pa...

  • What's new in Python 1.5 and beyond

    ...for localized number formatting and string case sensitivity. New module 'xmllib' to parse XML files. Some more support for Tk extensions (PIL, TIX, BLT, TOGL). Fixed address list parsing in module 'rfc822'. More deployment (and only one fix) for the 're' module. New Python mode for Emacs. OS/2 support. From 1.5b1 to 1.5b2 Thanks to all who contributed doc strings for library modules! The portability problems caused by indented preprocessor commands and C++ style comments should be gone now. ...

The distutils install command now supports the --home option and installation scheme for all platforms. asyncore.loop now has a repeat count parameter that defaults to looping forever. The distutils sdist command now ignores all .svn directories, in addition to CVS and RCS directories. .svn directories hold administrative files for the Subversion source control system. Added a new module: cookielib. Automatic cookie handling for HTTP clients. Also, support for cookielib has be...

  • What's new in Python 2.3

    ...forms now use a Python wrapper class for socket objects. Also new in 2.3b1, support for inet_pton() and inet_ntop(). ssl - the Windows installer now incorporates SSL support. (New in 2.3a2: timeouts set on the underlying socket are now handled correctly.) Tkinter - now returns Tcl objects instead of strings. Support for Tcl/Tk 8.0 and 8.1 is dropped; support for threaded Tcl/Tk is added, as is support for various Tk 8.4 features. The Windows installer now ships with Tcl/Tk 8.4.3. In 2.3b1, ...

    ...forward. The attributes random.whseed and random.__whseed have no meaning for the new generator. Code using these attributes should switch to a new class, random.WichmannHill which is provided for backward compatibility and to make an alternate generator available. New "algorithms" module: heapq, implements a heap queue. Thanks to Kevin O'Connor for the code and François Pinard for an entertaining write-up explaining the theory and practical uses of heaps. New encoding for the Palm...

Our plan for the initial scouting task has four major components: Create a Python development environment suitable for novices; Create training materials to teach Python to novices using this environment; Foster a user community for the above and extract feedback from it; Evaluate the feedback and recommend guidelines for follow-up research or developmen...

    ...for the source code to my system, called the Python-Emacs Extension for Enabling Workable Elisp (called PEE EWE) which included the stallman.py and witty.py modules, but all I got back was a MIME encoded email written in Japanese, for which the only words I could make out were "proprietary" and "waiting for copyright assignment". Sigh. Anyway, it appears that there's at least one friendly person at the FSF, because every time the "Tim Peters" becomes quiet for a l...

    ...for saving and restoring the internal state of the generator; and jumpahead(n), for quickly forcing the internal state to be the same as if n calls to random() had been made. The latter is particularly useful for multi- threaded programs, creating one instance of the random.Random() class for each thread, then using .jumpahead() to force each instance to use a non-overlapping segment of the full period. random.py's seed() function is new. For bit-for-bit compatibility with prior releases, use ...

  • Unifying types and classes in Python 2.2

    ...formation) contains the class name. This ensures that self.__super means something different in each class (as long as the class names differ; unfortunately, it is possible in Python to reuse the name of a base class for a derived class). Another part of the trick is that the super built-in can be called with a single argument, and then creates an unbound version that can be bound by a later instance getattr operation. Unfortunately, this example is still rather ugly for a number of r...

    ...for any of the base classes of class D, then class X will also precede class Y in the lookup order for class D. For example, since B precedes A in the lookup list for B, it also precedes A in the lookup list for D; and ditto for C preceding A. Exception: if, amongst the bases of class D, there is one where X precedes Y and another where Y precedes X, the algorithm has to break a tie. In this case, all bets are off; in the future, this condition may cause a warning or an error. (A ru...

    ...for the most subtle details). I note here only the important property of monotonicity in the lookup rule: if class X precedes class Y in the lookup order for any of the base classes of class D, then class X will also precede class Y in the lookup order for class D. For example, since B precedes A in the lookup list for B, it also precedes A in the lookup list for D; and ditto for C preceding A. Exception: if, amongst the bases of class D, there is one where X precedes Y and another whe...

    ...for Python. The key challenges for developing a soft type system for Python are extending the analysis to objects and modules and accommodating Python's extremely dynamic execution environment, which allows modification of classes and instances at runtime. Preliminary work at CNRI demonstrated the value of type analysis for improving the performance of JPython programs. Hugunin [Hugunin2] demonstrated performance improvements of up to three orders of magnitude for JPython. Program Analys...
