    ...string argument. Previously, this constructor ignored its arguments. As a consequence, deriving a class from a module (not from the module type) is now illegal; previously this created an unnamed module, just like invoking the module type did. [SF bug 563060] A new type object, 'basestring', is added. This is a common base type for 'str' and 'unicode', and can be used instead of types.StringTypes, e.g. to test whether something is "a string": isinstance(x, basestring) is True for Un...

  • Parade of the PEPs

    ...string interpolation in literals because that would break existing code. Maybe "from __future__ import interpolation" would enable interpolation in string literals? (Only in literals!) There's also the question whether to allow arbitrary expressions like print "The area is ${x*y}" PEP 216 - Docstring Format - Zadka This has very little contents. Maybe it should be withdrawn? There are several other PEPs that deal with doc strings, notably 256-258, which I like much ...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...string, reference past the end of an array, or call an non-existent class method. Dynamic high-level data typing cuts out great volumes of support code and makes it possible to write flexible and introspective code (more on this below). 3) Powerful, easy-to-use data structures -- Python's built-in list and dictionary data structures can be used in combination to build just about any fast runtime data structure in a snap. This further reduces the amount of support code you need to write. 4) Exten...

New library module difflib.py, primarily packaging the SequenceMatcher class at the heart of the popular ndiff.py file-comparison tool. doctest.py (a framework for verifying Python code examples in docstrings) is now part of the std library. Windows changes A new entry in the Start menu, "Module Docs", runs "pydoc -g" -- a small GUI that lets you browse the module docstrings using your default web browser. Import is now case-sensitive.

  • Computer Programming for Everybody

    ...strings are passed as function parameters in C programs they are typically represented by two variables, a pointer and a length. The SWIG bindings should automatically convert between those two C variables and a single Python string argument. If users are empowered to modify and customize code, they will be challenged to maintain those changes when the underlying software is upgraded or when system components are replaced. Version control is already a vexing problem for software developer...
