  • Python 1.6.1

    ...Python 1.5.x cannot be used with Python 1.6; these extensions will have to be rebuilt for Python 1.6. On Windows, attempting to import a third party extension built for Python 1.5.x results in an immediate crash; there's not much we can do about this. Check your PYTHONPATH environment variable! Overview of Changes since 1.5.2 For this overview, I have borrowed from the document "What's New in Python 2.0" by Andrew Kuchling and Moshe Zadka: http://starship.python.net/crew/amk/python/...

  • What's new in Python 2.3

    ...Python 2.3 What's new in Python 2.3 Here are the (subjective) highlights of what's new in Python 2.3. Faster According to a couple of simple benchmark, Python 2.3 is about 20-30% faster than Python 2.2.3. Some of this speed-up was obtained by removing the SET_LINENO opcodes, which means that the difference is less impressive when comparing "python -O"; the rest was various careful tune-ups. New Tools A brand new version of IDLE (from the IDLEfork project at SourceForge) is now ...

  • Unifying types and classes in Python 2.2

    ...Python ever, and yet it can be done with very few backwards incompatibilities. The changes are described in minute detail in a series of PEPs (Python Enhancement Proposals). PEPs are not designed to be tutorials, and the PEPs describing the type/class unification are sometimes hard to read. They also aren't finished yet. That's where this paper comes in: it introduces the key elements of the type/class unification for the average Python programmer. A bit of terminology: "classic Pyt...

  • PSF Community Service Awards

    ...Python community. The Q1 2024 Community Service Award was given to Gregory Szorc as the author of python-build-standalone and PyOxidizer, among many other projects. python-build-standalone has quietly become a crucial component of the wider Python ecosystem. It provides builds of Python that can be installed in a way that avoids any risk of conflict with other existing installations so that Python can be painlessly distributed to users who are not themselves Python developers. The Q1 2024 Commun...
