  • Python Success Stories

    ...Python? Python was not our first choice as the main programming language it was a coincidence. When we started our project we was very proficient in Perl and completely unaware of Python: so we chose Perl. We discovered Python when we decided that we had to substitute the PerlTK user interface with a Web-based one. We found Zope, and after some attempts to integrate Perl with Zope, we switched to Python. To make a log story short, at the end we dropped Zope but kept using Python (and rewrote the...

Issue #3643: Added a few more checks to _testcapi to prevent segfaults by exploitation of poor argument checking. bsddb code updated to version 4.7.3pre2. This code is the same than Python 2.6 one, since the intention is to keep an unified 2.x/3.x codebase. The Python code is automatically translated using "2to3".

  • What's new in Python 2.3

    ...Python 2.3 What's new in Python 2.3 Here are the (subjective) highlights of what's new in Python 2.3. Faster According to a couple of simple benchmark, Python 2.3 is about 20-30% faster than Python 2.2.3. Some of this speed-up was obtained by removing the SET_LINENO opcodes, which means that the difference is less impressive when comparing "python -O"; the rest was various careful tune-ups. New Tools A brand new version of IDLE (from the IDLEfork project at SourceForge) is now ...

    ...Python Certification Scheme S. Holden reported: Van Lindberg and I have been discussing Python certification schemes. Van strongly felt that such a scheme would be much less valuable if not sponsored by the PSF. He feels it could be "a major story for Python".

Some directors were in favor of certification, others don't think it's worthwhile. The conse...
