O'Reilly books occasionally land on my doorstep, selected from among the new releases by some mysterious benefactor inside the organization u...

  • Parade of the PEPs

    Parade of the PEPs Parade of the PEPs To start off Developer's Day at the Python10 conference I gave a keynote ending in what I dubbed "the parade of the PEPs".

I didn't take notes at the conference, so below is a different set of comments that I created from scratch during a single two-hour sitt...

  • Standard Exception Classes in Python 1.5

    Standard Exception Classes in Python 1.5 Standard Exception Classes in Python 1.5 (updated for Python 1.5.2 -baw) User-defined Python exceptions can be either strings or Python classes. Since classes have many nice properties when used as exceptions, it is desirable to migrate to a situation where classes are used exclusively. Prior to Python 1.5 alpha 4, Python's standard exceptions (IOError, TypeError, etc.) were defined as strings. Changing these to classes posed some particula...
