2006-10-15 Grants Committee Status Report

2006-10-15 Grants Committee Status Report The grants committee was originally founded to use some of the PSF's "spare" money to advance Python projects. It wasn't initially clear what kind of projects where to be funded, hence the original call for projects was fairly wide. In the call, we indicated that we would give away $40,000 (which was a significant fraction of the PSF's assets at that time); in response, we got over 60 project proposals. Many of them were designed so that they...

Towards a Standard Parser Generator

...releases, we will not explain all tags used here in detail. In this fragment, two rules are defined, which are both alternatives of the unionExpr non-terminal. The right-hand-side of each rule consists of a sequence of symbols; it is just pathExpr for the first rule, and unionExpr '|' pathExpr for the second. In the second rule, a specific semantic action is defined, which is a call to ParsedExpr.ParsedUnionExpr, which in turn is a class of the abstract syntax. BisonGen will declare ...
Comparing Option-Parsing Libraries

Comparing Option-Parsing Libraries Comparing Option-Parsing Libraries NOTE: this page is present for historical purposes only. The getopt-sig is retired, and Optik was added to the Python standard library (as optparse) in Python 2.3. (It was checked in to Python's CVS tree in November 2002, and first released in July 2003.) Since I proposed Optik for the Python standard library, a number of other option-parsing libraries have come to light. I'm trying to evaluate them by ...

Python Success Stories

Python Success Stories Background The Molecular Modeling Toolkit (MMTK) is a open source Python library for molecular modeling and simulation with a focus on biomolecular systems, written in a mixture of Python and C. It provides standard techniques such as Molecular Dynamics or normal mode calculations in a ready-to-use form, but also provides a basis of low-level operations on top of which new techniques can easily be implemented. I started developing MMTK in 1996. I had some experience wit...
Python Internationalization-SIG

Python Internationalization-SIG Internationalization-SIG ("i18n") This SIG provides a forum for discussing issues relating to the internationalization of Python. At the time of writing (March 2000), internationalization (henceforth spelled as "i18n" to save typing) features are being added to Python. This sig is the primary forum for discussing those features. Topics covered include but are not limited to: Unicode support and building a library of codecs Support for local...

Python Success Stories

Python Success Stories Background Successful information search is mission-critical. It increases worker efficiency and saves money. On an external web site, it also increases customer satisfaction and helps retain users to the web site. The average company can waste millions of dollars because its employees cannot locate and retrieve the information that is needed for their jobs. Infoseek released the original version of Ultraseek Server on March 31, 1997. It was built by wrapping Infoseek's...

Unifying types and classes in Python 2.2

Classic classes are still a special category in Python 2.2. Eventually they will be totally unified with types, but because of additional backwards incompatibilities, this will be done aft...

Glue It All Together With Python

...releases are available for evaluation. JPython offers seamless scripting for Java. It is a full implementation of the Python language and standard library, adding direct access to the universe of Java classes. Java code can also use Python classes -- this is important for callbacks, for instance. The main thrust for JPython is that it does for Java what Python already does for C and C++: to present programmers with more options in the trade-off between development time and execution ...
