  • Python Success Stories

    ...release in September 2005. We went live in production on 12/23/2005 (that's Festivus for any Seinfeld fans out there). In May 2006, we released a major upgrade to the application, with significant usability and look-and-feel improvements. Some of the bot-based functionality made it into the production releases, and other pieces are still being developed or refined for future releases. The View from 10,000 Feet ProjectPipe actually has a somewhat novel architecture. It uses a traditional relati...

  • PSF Weblog Policy

    ...releases of PSF-owned software (e.g. Python itself), but will usually not post items about arbitrary third-party Python software and may decline such submissions. Because the PSF is a US 501(c)(3) non-profit education organization, weblog entries must not take positions on political topics. For example, the PSF cannot post links to campaigns for or against legislation or political candidates. Directors, officers and members should post such material on their own weblogs.

  • FSF response to the Python 2.1 license

    ...release under a GPL with an Unfeedonian-law-applies clause. We're screwed. So we have never allowed a license with a choice-of-law clause to be treated as fully compatible with GPL. Virginia is the worst of all choices, because that state has passed the UCITA law, which adds a whole new range of risks and burdens in the distribution of free software. We explained all this to CNRI, but it was the other subject on which they were immovable. So we settled for a clause that specifical...

    ...release. <ul> <li>Some sort of weird dynamic linker error causes dbmmodule to fail on OSF/1 5.1, at least on the HP test machines. <li>It has been reported that untarring the source tarball using Solaris tar or HP/UX tar can fail. This is caused by some pathnames being too long for the tar shipped by the vendor to handle. Using <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/tar.html">GNU tar</a> should allow for untarring on Solaris and HP/UX. </ul> &...

This will be addressed in 2.3.2 - for now, edit the generated pyconfig.h (after configure has been run) and change the line #define HAVE_SYNC to #define HAVE_FSYNC </li> <li>Some tests may unexpectedly fail on certain platforms. ...

  • Notes

    ...release the "import lock": imp.acquire_lock() and imp.release_lock(). Note: this is a reentrant lock, so releasing the lock only truly releases it when this is the last release_lock() call. You can check with imp.lock_held(). (SF bug #580952 and patch #683257.) Change to cPickle to match pickle.py (see below and PEP 307). Fix some bugs in the parser module. SF bug #678518. Thanks to Scott David Daniels, a subtle bug in how the zlib extension implemented flush() was fixed. Scott...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...release the first version of our TTP network configuration tool, TTP-Plan. We had anticipated that parts of the program, notably the scheduler, would have to be recoded as Python extensions in C after the first prototype's completion. In fact, however, TTP-Plan is still coded in pure Python, yet our customers appreciate it for its excellent performance. Figure A: The TTT-Plan Pilot allows users to manipulate object data and links between objects Zoom in For the first tool, TTP-Plan, we create...

    ...releases of Python. 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". It was a brief overview of all open PEPs, where I gave my highly personal and subjective opinion for each PEP. Later, I realized that this might have been of interest to other developers. 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 sitti...
