    ...input. One of the biggest challenges was deciding among ways to organize the description of the world. On the one hand, I could have created a descriptive language for the structure of the world, and written an interpreter to read the description and build the in-memory structures on which the game would run. This would have been a fairly large effort, and would have required me to formalize all of the structures that could have appeared in a world. It also would have meant a longer delay before...

  • A Journey to Python

    ...input from "top techies"/"highly technical managers" such as myself. Right about then, I got an offer to consult as a freelance Python specialist for a Swedish startup, and I took the opportunity, quitting my "safe job" and switching to freelance work, mostly but not exclusively for that Swedish company. It DID mean a lot of "commuting by plane", sigh, but it also gave me the opportunity to work almost exclusively in Python (and in C, coding extensions fo...

Cog processes text files, converting specially marked sections of the file into new content without disturbing the rest of the file or the sections that it executes to produce the generated content. Zoom in In addition to executing Python generators, Cog itself is written in Python. Python's dynamic nature made it simple to execute the Python code Cog found, and its...

    ...input device, and the Microsoft Speech SDK 5.1 to communicate information with a synthesized voice. Choice of Python Faced with the daunting task of coding a program with little precedent, the first major design decision our team had to tackle was the choice of a programming language. Our initial thoughts were to use either C++ or Java since everyone in the group was proficient with both. One group member had been exposed to Python in an earlier class and was impressed with the power and ease ...

    ...input, etc. In even more complex situations, wireless networking is required to allow the lights to communicate with each other, or with a central base station. A great deal of mechanical, electrical, electronic and optical design is required to create these lights. As is typical of modern complex devices, an embedded software program running on a microcontroller operates each unit, making it come to life. Like a miniature version of the Monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey, each light maintai...

    ...input (when the input stream is temporarily exhausted). codecs.StreamReader now implements buffering, which enables proper readline support for the UTF-16 decoders. codecs.StreamReader.read() has a new argument chars which specifies the number of characters to return. codecs.StreamReader.readline() and codecs.StreamReader.readlines() have a new argument keepends. Trailing "n"s will be stripped from the lines if keepends is false. The documentation for doctest is greatly expanded, and n...

    ...inputs, options, configurations, and failure behaviors. An experimental chemist usually didn't have the training to work with them, which meant that the computational chemists were forced to take time out of their work on developing new techniques to run routine models. In 2000, AstraZeneca wanted to improve this process so that experimental chemists could make better computational predictions on their own, and so that the research of the computational chemists could progress at a faster rate, a...

You can avoid these problems by using a current python.org installer or by using a third-party distribution of Python that does not use Apple 8.5.9 Tk. This is an Aqua Cocoa Tk. Apple 8.5.7 This release is included in macOS 10.6. IDLE is known to hang or crash when used with the Apple 8.5.7 included in all versions of macOS 10.6.x. Because of this, we strongly recommen...

It was necessary to accomplish the CiviContribute milestone first, because signing up Associate members onli...

    ...input events to manipulate the application's GUI, and then asserting the existence and content of various GUI components like windows and textboxes, to provide automated assurance of end-to-end functionality. Test-Driven Development Dynamic languages like Python complement automated testing, by allowing the patching of modules, classes, methods or attributes with arbitrary objects at runtime. This allows tests to easily eliminate dependencies of the code under test, and thus concentrating on t...

    ...input/output semantics are maintained. In reality, it is currently very difficult to write classes and components that are independent of the rest of the system. We will also be exploring new concepts such as Aspect Oriented Programming [AOP], a new way of modularizing software based on cross-cutting concerns. Perhaps some combination of these, or new modularizing techniques will prove effective, for example, by organizing each function as an aspect of a component. Community Building Be...
