  • Python Success Stories

    ...Python are many. Python is quite easily learned by people from various programming backgrounds, such as Java, C or Visual Basic. After becoming familiar with Python, development proceeds very quickly -- perhaps faster than with any other language. At the same time, Python lends itself to the creation of highly readable, compact and well structured code. Python's particular mix of features also helps embedded developers be more effective when programming a PC. While these developers are well f...

    ...Python to highlight it on their business card -- as far as the perception among companiest that there are or aren't enough Python programmers out there. Holden: Personally I think we should instead have an approved "I use Python" motif, which incorporates the logo in an approved design. Cannon: I basically don't want the guy to look like he represents the PSF or himself as a developer of Python instead of a developer in Python. I am fine with it, but I don't mind giving his pr...

    ...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. For example, while Python 2.2.2 works happily with Python 2.2.1 or 2.2.0 byte code and extension modules, it will print warnings and may run i...

    Python Success Stories First published in Linux Journal, May 2000. Copyright 2000 Specialized Systems Consultants, Inc. All rights reserved. Introduction My first look at Python was an accident, and I didn't much like what I saw at the time. It was early 1997, and Mark Lutz's book Programming Python from O'Reilly & Associates had recently come out. O'Reilly books occasionally land on my doorstep, selected from among the new releases by some mysterious benefactor inside the organization u...
