Please refer to the Python tutorial and the Descriptor HowTo Guide for more up-to-date documentation about classes and descriptors respectively.

  • Python Humor

    ...tood how the old code worked anyway. So I chose Python because of its cool name and the fact that font-lock actually worked for Python syntax, and I wrote a Python C extension that allowed me to embed Emacs in Python, and to seamlessly call Elisp programs from Python. This was actually cleaner than JPython is now (sorry Jim), except for one little problem. I was under the misguided idea that Python used brace delimiters and I was hoping to just substitute parentheses for braces. My having to...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...to be a complicated and fragile undertaking. I had been impressed by Python's low coefficient of friction so far, but here was a real test. How hard would I have to wrestle with the language to get it to do this? I knew from previous experience that the bout was likely to be painful, even assuming I won, but I dived into the book and read up on Python's metaclass facilities. The resulting function is shown in Listing 3, and the code that calls it is in Listing 4. def copy_instance(toclass, from...

  • Summary of "Extension Building" Session

    ...to be decided (although I have definite ideas of how it should look!) We talked about terminology a bit. This is going to be a sticky issue, and will have to be one of the first things we thrash out on a SIG. First, module, extension module (extension for short), and package will keep their conventional Pythonic meanings: a single .py file meant to be imported by other modules or scripts, a module written in C, and a collection of modules grouped under a direct...

  • SIG for Ultra Large-Scale Systems

    ...how such systems relate to or can be built with Python. The term "Ultra Large-Scale Systems" comes out of the research that was done in 2005-2006 by the Carnegie Mellon Software Engineering Institute's ULS Systems team. It entails the "creation" of systems of the next 10-20 years (and possibly beyond), systems that will be too large for current design, development, management, and interaction practices. These systems will come into being through amalgamated services united to...

This would address capabilities such as (but not limited to) CSS parsing, XHTML parsing and generation support, client-side and server-side SSL support, simple server frameworks, multi-part/form-data POST support, and CGI sup...

  • Metaclasses in Python 1.5

    ...to the matter. You may also want to search Deja News for messages with "metaclass" in the subject posted to comp.lang.python in July and August 1998.) In previous Python releases (and still in 1.5), there is something called the ``Don Beaudry hook'', after its inventor and champion. This allows C extensions to provide alternate class behavior, thereby allowing the Python class syntax to be used to define other class-like entities. Don Beaudry has used this in his infamous MESS pac...

I expect it will take a lot of work to hack it into the code generator: it has to create a separate code object in order to be a generator. List comprehensions are inlined, so I expect that the generator comprehension code generator can't ...
