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...

His contributions have been seen in a number of areas around CPython and in the standard library, from Windows specific behaviors in the libraries, to the PEP 397 launcher for Windows.

We ran into this only once when Python 2.0 began to disallow multiple arguments to the sequence append method. This problem required changing exactly three easily found calls in our code base of over 77K lines of Python. 2) Different versions of Python can produce incompatible compiled byte code and requires that C/C++ extension modules are compiled against a specific version of Python. F...

    ...released from the contract. This is only worth doing if it's free. If we have to pay the $70000 penalty, it's better to give the conference and take the smaller 20K loss. Reduce the contract numbers to ~200-250, so that the total costs are cheaper and we actually meet our numbers. Keep the numbers the same, and try to do better on publicity to reduce the loss. I made various mistakes -- most notably a delay in getting the schedule posted -- but it's not clear if that delay is responsible for ...

    ...releases (and still in 1.5), there is something called the ``Don Beaudry hook'', after its inventor and champion. This allows C extensions to provide alternate class behavior, thereby allowing the Python class syntax to be used to define other class-like entities. Don Beaudry has used this in his infamous MESS package; Jim Fulton has used it in his Extension Classes package. (It has also been referred to as the ``Don Beaudry hack,'' but that's a misnomer. There's nothing hackish about...

There was a $6000 travel grant (financial aid) supplementary budget from the PSF in 2006, $7000 in 2007 but part of the PyCon budget. We got to a late start with sponsors for 2007, but many sponsors contacted us, and we have had ...
