  • Python Success Stories

    Python Success Stories Introduction TTTech, founded in 1998, focuses on developing a technology for safety-critical real-time systems. Our central technology is the Time-Triggered Protocol (TTP), a communication protocol used in embedded systems for distributed fault-tolerant applications, such as drive-by-wire and fly-by-wire vehicles. For TTP, we provide chip models for implementing the necessary hardware in silicon, services to customers using the technology, and a broad range of tools. ...

    ...classes, and modules while translating the code base into Python. Refactoring the Perl code without moving to Python would have produced comparable architectural results, but Python's explicit error handling and stronger type checking helped to considerably improve the code's robustness. The current version of PyDrone uses about 20 different external binaries and scripts to predict various molecular properties. When an external program works correctly, then the output is easy to parse into the d...

Another important subset of MMTK implements schemas for calculating interaction energies (called somewhat incorrectly "force fields" in the simulation community). I/O-related code is the third pillar of MMTK. It reads and writes a few popular file formats plus its own trajectory format that is based on...

    Python Success Stories Introduction AFNIC is the registry of the French .fr top-level internet domain. For many years, registration rules in .fr were very strict. On May 11th, 2004, the rules changed to a more liberal model, allowing many registrations that were not possible before. As a consequence of this change, the registry was faced with receiving a potentially unmanageable burst of requests. This is a problem known as a "landrush" faced by every DNS registry which changes its ...
