  • Parade of the PEPs

    ...words), but I think it might be somewhat useful for people experimenting with Python-like languages (e.g. Python preprocessors that add new keywords and syntax). Since pgen is pretty tightly bound to the Python distribution, it makes sense that an extension making pgen available to the Python programmer should also be in the Python distribution. So, we should ask the author if he's planning to implement it. If not, it should probably be dropped for lack of interest. PEP 270 - uni...

How would a sponsor get into their level?" S. Holden: "We have to write to sponsors asking them to choose their level for next year." T. Peters: "I believe sponsors pick their own level in this plan -- we don't force a level on them, we just suggest." S. Holden: "I will send a draft le...

  • Standard Exception Classes in Python 1.5

    ...words, some old code may break. That's why the -X switch is there; however this shouldn't be an excuse for not fixing your code. There are two kinds of breakage: sometimes, code will print slightly funny error messages when it catches a class exception but expects a string exception. And sometimes, but much less often, code will actually crash or otherwise do the wrong thing in its error handling. Non-fatal Breakage An examples of the first kind of breakage is code that attempts...

  • Python 1.6 License FAQ

    ...words, you cannot change the terms under which CNRI licenses Python 1.6, and must retain the CNRI License Agreement to make that clear, but you can (via adding your own license) set your own terms for your derivative works. Note that there is no requirement to distribute the Python source code either, if this does not make sense for your application. Does that include, for example, releasing my derivative work under the GPL? Yes, but you must retain the CNRI License Agreement in...

Goodger also noted that until the records are organized, we only have incomplete information. S. Deibel: "But (obviously?) if someone's contribs are being treated as covered by the fact than an employer owned them and chose to open source them then we should somehow note that in the registry of contrib forms."...

CNRI disagrees, and states the FSF's lawyer has told CNRI's lawyer that 1.6.1 is "not incompatible" with the GPL. Download Python 1.6.1 is available for download now. It is released under the...

Early June: Ralf Kilian <viva.la.bam at operamail.com> asked for clarification of the color of the "eyes" of the snakes when the logo is used on a black background. TC members seemed to differ in opinions of this, but as Chair I declare that as long as the shape of the eyes is preserved, we consider the shape of the logo intact, and aesthetic judgments about that color is u...

  • Metaclasses in Python 1.5

    ...words, subclassing an existing class creates a new (meta)inststance of the base class's metaclass. Going back to the example, the class B.__class__ is instantiated, passing its constructor the same three arguments that are passed to the default class constructor or to an extension's metaclass: name, bases, and namespace. It is easy to be confused by what exactly happens when using a metaclass, because we lose the absolute distinction between classes and instances: a class is an insta...

    ...wording was strange ("for his outstanding contribution to the python community in 2006"), and asked Betsy to redo it (remove "in 2006", and add the date separately). A revised certificate has been received and presented to Alex. The Board agreed with the suggested approach to selecting recipients, and that any Directors nominated should recuse themselves from deliberations. D. Goodger will coordinate the selection of the 2007 recipient of the Frank Willison Award. D. Goodge...

    ...words if w == w.lower()] would yield the list of words that contain no uppercase characters. This is more efficient than a for loop with an if statement and a list.append() call. You can also have nested for loops and more than one 'if' clause. For example, here's a function that flattens a sequence of sequences:: def flatten(seq): return [x for subseq in seq for x in subseq] flatten([[0], [1,2,3], [4,5], [6,7,8,9], []]) This prints [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ...

  • Built-in Package Support in Python 1.5

    ...words, the package must be a subdirectory of a directory that is on sys.path. Traditionally, the easiest way to ensure that a package was on sys.path was to either install it in the standard library or to have users extend sys.path by setting their $PYTHONPATH shell environment variable. In practice, both solutions quickly cause chaos. Dedicated Directories In Python 1.5, a convention has been established that should prevent chaos, by giving the system administrator more control. ...
