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...

  • Proposed Improvements to Module Cleanup

    ...released.) C2 deletes the remaining objects but leaves the "internal global variable" __builtins__ alone -- this prevents the problem that the 1.5 release has where e.g. using "None" in a destructor raises a NameError! C3 removes the reference to the module from the modules table in a way that makes a later import of the same module fail. (It is possible for user code to delete this entry and still start a completely new import -- but if they are that clever they deserve what they ...
