  ...search for projects by the community. There will also be more metrics for measuring project popularity to provide various lists of top projects to get a clearer idea of exactly what still needs to be ported. </pycon surprise> As far as making plans for next month's activities, Brett's core development task project will be finished. 5.3   HAM WebPages/Links P.

• Parade of the PEPs

  ...searched systematically to find the most suitable adapter. But that's about all I know of the subject, and I think it should remain a nice idea, until we have a standard way to talk about interfaces. So I think this will have "frozen" status (see above) at least as long as PEP 245. I have to admit that I never read the whole PEP, and certainly never tried to read and understand the specification or the sample implementation, so maybe I'm still off base. PEP 254 - Making Classes...

  ...searchable archive on the ActiveState site which is also hosting the famous Python Cookbook. The python tutor mailing list is useful to beginners learning the language and looking for answers to their programming problems; educators are welcome to join as volunteers; the edu-sig mailing list is more for discussions about uses of Python in educational settings. Free books and tutorials for educators There are a number of freely available tutorials for Python. For example, there is a collection...

  ...searches sys.path for the module and then runs it. (Contributed by Nick Coghlan.) The bytecode optimizer now folds tuples of constants into a single constant. SF bug #513866: Float/long comparison anomaly. Prior to 2.4b1, when an integer was compared to a float, the integer was coerced to a float. That could yield spurious overflow errors (if the integer was very large), and to anomalies such as long(1e200)+1 == 1e200 == long(1e200)-1. Coercion to float is no longer performed, and cases like...

  ...search to those keys with the same hash code. All of these are considered to be bugs. A new implementation of __delitem__ repairs all that, but note that fixing these bugs may change visible behavior in code relying (whether intentionally or accidentally) on old behavior. SF bug 734869: Fixed a compiler bug that caused a fatal error when compiling a list comprehension that contained another list comprehension embedded in a lambda expression. SF bug 705231: builtin pow() no longer lets the pla...

  ...search sys.path for the first case-sensitive match; raise ImportError if none found. The same rules have been implented on other platforms with case- insensitive but case-preserving filesystems too (including Cygwin, and several flavors of Macintosh operating systems). winsound module: Under Win9x, winsound.Beep() now attempts to simulate what it's supposed to do (and does do under NT and 2000) via direct port manipulation. It's unknown whether this will work on all systems, but it does work...

  ...search string or replacement string) raises a TypeError. Moreover, the re.UNICODE flag is enabled automatically for unicode patterns, and can be disabled by specifying a new re.ASCII flag; as for bytes patterns, ASCII matching is the only option and trying to specify re.UNICODE for such patterns raises a ValueError. Issue #3300: make urllib.parse.[un]quote() default to UTF-8. Code contributed by Matt Giuca. quote() now encodes the input before quoting, unquote() decodes after unquoting. There ...

Benefits of early and large-scale community involvement for our research will include: volunteers who help "test-drive" our courses and software prototypes; new courses developed by community members aimed at specific target audiences or aimed at teaching specific skills or subjects; localized variants, translations etc. of existing courses; new or modified examples (you can never have enough examples, and examples...

• PSF Board Resolutions

  ...searched for our new Executive Director. Thomas also served on the Steering Council for five years. He has been a steadying and welcoming presence in the Python community for twenty-five years. We’d like to recognize Thomas’s many years of largely “behind the scenes” service to make every meeting run smoothly, to make sure critical administrative tasks were handled, to pitch in wherever needed, and to act as a historian for the PSF’s work and the Python programming language’s technical decisions...
