• Notes

  ...Function objects now have a __module__ attribute that is bound to the name of the module in which the function was defined. This applies for C functions and methods as well as functions and methods defined in Python. This attribute is used by pickle.whichmodule(), which changes the behavior of whichmodule slightly. In Python 2.2 whichmodule() returns "__main__" for functions that are not defined at the top-level of a module (examples: methods, nested functions). Now whichmodule() wi...

• Notes

  ...functions, attrgetter() and itemgetter() which are useful for creating fast data extractor functions for map(), list.sort(), itertools.groupby(), and other functions that expect a function argument. socket.SHUT_{RD,WR,RDWR} was added. os.getsid was added. The pwd module incorrectly advertised its struct type as struct_pwent; this has been renamed to struct_passwd. (The old name is still supported for backwards compatibility.) The xml.parsers.expat module now provides Expat 1.95.7. socket.IPPROT...

• Python Success Stories

  ...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 testing one thing at at time. Additionally, it makes it easy to stimulate particular behaviours or failure modes during the test. For example, by patching the file 'open' function with another fu...

• Python Success Stories

  ...maps between attributes or methods of objects and relational columns, tables, and databases. This mapping is not intended to store actual object attributes into relational tables, but rather only those attributes relevant to facilitating fast queries. In this way, the relational database is used as an index into the Zope object database. To provide support for fast queries of the object database, ZSQLCatalog copies select attributes (dots) and relations (lines) from the object database into t...

• Notes

  ...function is new. For bit-for-bit compatibility with prior releases, use the whseed function instead. The new seed function addresses two problems: (1) The old function couldn't produce more than about 2**24 distinct internal states; the new one about 2**45 (the best that can be done in the Wichmann-Hill generator). (2) The old function sometimes produced identical internal states when passed distinct integers, and there was no simple way to predict when that would happen; the new one guarant...

• Unifying types and classes in Python 2.2

  ...function argument in a special kind of descriptor whose __get__() method returns the original function unchanged. More on __get__ methods: in Python 2.2, the magic of binding methods to instances (even for classic classes!) is done through the __get__ method of the object found in the class. The __get__ method for regular function objects returns a bound method object; the __get__ method for staticfunction objects returns the underlying function. If a class attribute has no __get__ m...

  ...mapped to a Python class, which provided the public methods to call from the client application. There were two reason that we felt that service implementations should look no different than any standard class implementation in Python for two reasons: (1) a programmer should not need to learn a new way of coding just to be able to write services, and (2) existing integrated development environments (IDEs) should be used to make coding services even easier. Since Python is an object-oriented prog...
