  • Comparing Python to Other Languages

    ...definitions. However, for JavaScript, that's all there is. Python, on the other hand, supports writing much larger programs and better code reuse through a true object-oriented programming style, where classes and inheritance play an important role. Perl Python and Perl come from a similar background (Unix scripting, which both have long outgrown), and sport many similar features, but have a different philosophy. Perl emphasizes support for common application-oriented tasks, e.g. by...

  • Parade of the PEPs

    ...important missing feature for beginning programmers. I don't know which side is right. Even if it's a needed feature, the syntax is problematic: the first $ in print $"The area of a $x by $y rectangle is $z" is very questionable, but none of the alternatives I've seen proposed (e.g. i"...") look very good either. We can't just always turn on string interpolation in literals because that would break existing code. Maybe "from __future__ import interpolation" would enable i...

  • Standard Exception Classes in Python 1.5

    ...Definitions The Python class definitions for the standard exceptions are imported from the standard module "exceptions". You can't change this file thinking that the changes will automatically show up in the standard exceptions; the builtin module expects the current hierarchy as defined in exceptions.py. Details on the standard exception classes are available in the Python library reference manual's entry for the exceptions module. Changes to raise The raise statement has b...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...important measure of effort in coding is the frequency with which you write something that doesn't actually match your mental representation of the problem, and have to backtrack on realizing that what you just typed won't actually tell the language to do what you're thinking. An important measure of good language design is how rapidly the percentage of missteps of this kind falls as you gain experience with the language. When you're writing working code nearly as fast as you can type and your m...

  • Notes

    ...importing a module M raises an exception, Python no longer leaves M in sys.modules. Before 2.4a2 it did, and a subsequent import of M would succeed, picking up a module object from sys.modules reflecting as much of the initialization of M as completed before the exception was raised. Subsequent imports got no indication that M was in a partially- initialized state, and the importers could get into arbitrarily bad trouble as a result (the M they got was in an unintended state, arbitrarily far re...

  • Python 2.4.1 - Release Notes

    ...import statement to look for importable Python modules (with .py, pyc and .pyo extensions) and packages inside the zipfile. The zipfile import follows the specification (though not the sample implementation) of PEP 273. The semantics of __path__ are compatible with those that have been implemented in Jython since Jython 2.1. PEP 302 has been accepted. Although it was initially developed to support zipimport, it offers a new, general import hook mechanism. Several new variables have been adde...
