  • Foreword for "Programming Python" (2nd ed.)

    ...Python" (2nd ed.) Foreword for "Programming Python" (2nd ed.) This is the foreword I wrote for Mark Lutz' book "Programming Python" (2nd ed.), published by O'Reilly in 2001. Less than five years ago, I wrote the foreword for the 1st edition of Programming Python. Since then, the book has changed about as much as the language and the Python community! I no longer feel the need to defend Python: the statistics and developments listed in Mark's Preface speak for themselves. ...

    ...Python software. Challenged to produce a system quickly and at a low cost we turned to Python to develop and test features and functionality for our website. Our programming team was already familiar with it and explained that Python had a reputation for being powerful while getting the job done quickly. They suggested we develop our first models using Python and so that's the route we decided on. After 6 months of hard work in our basement we launched our business online in no small part to P...

    ...Python community. The Q1 2024 Community Service Award was given to Gregory Szorc as the author of python-build-standalone and PyOxidizer, among many other projects. python-build-standalone has quietly become a crucial component of the wider Python ecosystem. It provides builds of Python that can be installed in a way that avoids any risk of conflict with other existing installations so that Python can be painlessly distributed to users who are not themselves Python developers. The Q1 2024 Commun...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...Python turned out to be more qualified for the job than initially expected i.e. Python turned out to be a true problem solver. At present most of the original Python code is still untouched or replaced by new Python code. The Python Successes Speed of development For us, development in Python has been proven to be much more efficient. Our developers generally finish Python based projects much quicker than comparable projects in other languages like C, C++, C# or Java. Apart from the latter, P...

  • Proposed Improvements to Module Cleanup

Contents: Algorithms Motivation Problems and Questions Revised version Based on some comments I received and some more thinking, I've changed this a bit since my web posting on this subject. Significant Changes are indicated in the text by [italicized remarks in square brackets]. Algorithms When a Python interpreter is deleted, its variables and modules are "cleared carefully" in a partially specified order. The operation "clear carefully" is define...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...Python I had used Python for small scripting projects before, and liked its quick-off-the-blocks feel. It would provide me with a malleable environment in which to experiment with features, to see what Nat would find interesting. Although this was an at-home project to be used only by my son, it shared issues with larger, supposedly more serious projects: unclear requirements, unpredictable customers, and limited developer resources. The most important concern to me in choosing the developmen...

Mid September: Several "Python in Debian" project members submitted derived logos that modified the Python logo to combine it with the Debian logo in a dilutive way. We let them know that this derivation would not be permitted and they agreed to an alternate logo design that was not derived from our trademark. Mid September: A complex issue came up with the book Maya Python for Games and Film: A Complete Reference for Maya Pytho...

    ...Python The language I chose for the code generators was, of course, Python. Its simplicity and power are perfect for the job of reading data files and producing code. To simplify the integration with the C++ code, the Python generators are inserted directly into the C++ file as comments. Cog reads a text file (C++ in our case), looking for specially-marked sections of text, that it will use as generators. It executes those sections as Python code, capturing the output. The output is then splice...

Gusto.com often builds automated test suites in Python, in order to validate a new supplier Web service before rolling it into its web presence. Python's rapid development times and capacity for automating this kind of testing makes it possible to quickly find and work around bugs in the supplier's code, resulting in a more a robust web application. So...

    ...Python with Apache With the API in place, our next task in developing CORE was to find a useful templating module to integrate our Python code with HTML pages running on the Apache web server. After looking at a number of available Python-based templating modules, we opted to create a simple parser of our own. Our approach was to convert server-side template pages into Python servlets whose output is sent by the HTTP server to the user's browser. Although this was a fairly simple exercise, we di...

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...
