  • A Journey to Python

    ...ife, moved to California, and here I happily live, serving as "Uber Tech Lead" for that deep-infrastructure software we call "Production Systems", where Python plays a crucial role (though not an exclusive one, as C++ is also important here). I was pleasantly surprised to find that working at Google, even in such a fascinatigly challenging position as Uber Tech Lead is, allows enough "work-life balance" (or in my case work-work balance :-) to let me write the second...

Each command class must provide a method run that uses the information in the Distribution instance and the command options to "do its thing". Well-written command classes will parcel this task out into several ...

    ...if' statements that specified which prediction routines should be called, and in which order, during execution of an analysis. In this approach, adding new dependencies soon led to a combinatorial nightmare. To solve this problem in Python, we developed a simple rule base which acts like a Python dictionary. It contains a data cache and a mapping from property name to prediction function. If a requested property name (the dictionary key) is in the cache, we reuse it. Otherwise, we find the assoc...

Additional development tools used in the project included gcc, Gnu make, latex, pdflatex, latex2html, emacs/xemacs (before Wing was functional), Visual C++ 6, and cygwin. Results Our work on Wing IDE has been quite a success. We were able to develop faster than we originally expected, and to deliver Wing IDE on Linux, Windows 98 through XP, Mac OS X with XDarwin, Solaris, and FreeBSD without major platform-specific development work.

Different aspects of the schema were represented in different ways in different files. We tried to simplify the mess using C++ macros. This worked to a degree, but was still difficult to manage. The schema representation was hampered by the simplistic nature of C++ macros, and the possibilities for expansion were extremely limi...

The interpreter is much smarter about the initial value for sys.path; you can control it easier using $PYTHONHOME (see the usage message, e.g. try python -h). In most situations, the interpreter can be installed at an arbitrary location without having to recompile. The build process now builds a single li...
