  ...help them somehow." The Board discussed PSF funding and brainstormed various fundraiser campaign schemes for the Durian Blender Foundation.

Rush: "Yes, the amount is difficult at this time; they are also looking for other ideas." B. Cannon: "...

• Towards a Standard Parser Generator

  ...helps in constructing an LALR(1) grammar. Plex Plex [Ewi01] only supports scanner generation. Due to the special lexical structure of XPath, and the lack of parser generation in Plex, no attempt was made to use this tool. Trap Trap [Ern99] supports the specification of intermediate representations (IR) as part of the grammar definitions, and subsequently generates parsers that parse into the specified IR, including support for unparsing. It currently uses kwParsing as its underly...

  ...help him, I'll support it." S. Holden: "A part of this is faster record-keeping and a part of it is budgeting..." K. Kaiser: "I think that budgeting is largely up to us and the PyCon organization. A. Kuchling: "Could we speed up record-keeping by switching to a web-based accounting system like Quickbooks Online... maybe that's an intermediate route." K. Kaiser: "I suggest that the Board establish a Finance committee. S. Holden: "Sounds like we don't y...

  ...help from the membership in approaching those survey subjects we have contact data for. This is a chance to reach out to people who are not currently involved with the Foundation and bring them into the fold."

• Computer Programming for Everybody

  ...help even poor programmers get the most out of their computers. For example, you might want to write a program to customize your PDA or toaster, but you might be discouraged if a small mistake could wipe out your address book or set your house on fire. Safeguards against disasters are needed, as well as ways of backing out of unwanted changes to a system as a whole. ("Undo", while very powerful, usually only applies to one file at a time. Backing out of global system changes typically...

• Unifying types and classes in Python 2.2

  ...help from Python's parser than we can currently get. I hope to fix this in a future Python release by making the parser recognize super. In the mean time, here's a trick you can apply. We can create a class variable named __super that has "binding" behavior. (Binding behavior is a new concept in Python 2.2, but it formalizes a well-known concept from classic Python: the transformation from an unbound method to a bound method when it is accessed via the getattr operation on an instanc...

  ...helper(x): return str(x) if type(str) != type(''): str = helper(str) return str.strip() Under the old rules, the name str in helper() is bound to the builtin function str(). Under the new rules, it will be bound to the argument named str and an error will occur when helper() is called. The compiler will report a SyntaxError if "from ... import *" occurs in a function or class scope. The language reference has documented that this case is illegal, but the com...
