    ...open source scientific data visualization tool written entirely in Python. I started work on MayaVi in 2000. At that time, a few colleagues of mine needed to visualize their computational fluid dynamics (CFD) data but the only suitable tools available were commercial, 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...

    ...OpenJade Interface OpenJade is an open source product that provides a means to get from SGML encoded documents to Microsoft Rich Text Format (RTF). It reads the DocBook DSSSL stylesheets and user's local DSSSL stylesheets, if any. The DSSSL is executed upon the user's SGML source text to write a final document to load into the user's word processor. For this project, we wanted to automatically generate files readable by Microsoft Word, so OpenJade was set to emit Microsoft Word Rich Text files. ...

  • Bugs in Python 2.3.5

    Bugs in Python 2.3.5 IDLE now executes code in a separate process. To communicate between the main process and executing processes, IDLE opens a socket to 127.0.0.1 (the local machine). Some firewalls running on Windows machines interfere with this and can cause either silent failures or erroneous popup windows from the firewall. This problem only occurs if you run a firewall on the same machine as IDLE. Build bugs Some platforms require some tinkering to get a clean build of Python. So...

    ...Open Source advantage The fact that Python is open sourced works like an insurance policy for us. Although so far we have not yet run into serious problems, we know that we have the possibility to fix it. Interfacing with other languages Python allows us to easily interface to most other languages. This makes it easy to hook other code into our Python code base. Interfacing with other languages is a core aspect of the GravityZoo Framework. Stability One major concern in the beginning was the s...

The choice of open source for Coramy ERP was a strategic move to reduce software maintenance costs and to allow Coramy to retain complete control over its custom developments, something that would have been impossible with standard proprietary ERP solutions. Nexedi was created as an independent company in charge of developing, implementing, and disseminating the ERP5 technology. Nexedi was given a budget of 80,000 EUR to develop a generic ERP framework published under GPL lice...

Personally, I've had more than one informal dinner party conversation about Resolver One with finance industry people, who have stopped me to ask why on Earth we chose Python if it's an open source language? After all, isn't open source the same as freeware, ie. all rubbish? It's hard to know how significant this perception is amongst our potential clients' deci...
