  • Web SIG

    Web SIG The Python Web SIG is dedicated to improving Python's support for interacting with World Wide Web services and clients. Charter The first task should be to create a plan (in the form of a PEP) for bringing the Web support in the standard Python library up to modern standards. This would address capabilities such as (but not limited to) CSS parsing, XHTML parsing and generation support, client-side and server-side SSL support, simple server frameworks, multi-part/form-data POST suppor...

  • Python Special Interest Groups - Guidelines

    Python Special Interest Groups - Guidelines Python SIG Creation Guidelines The guidelines for creation of new SIGs are rather informal, but a few key things are necessary. First we outline the general framework of the SIGs and then we describe what you have to do if you want us to create a new SIG. The SIG mailing lists are managed by GNU Mailman, a web-based interface for mailing lists written in Python. Un/subscription requests, archiving of messages, etc. all happen automatically, without...

  • SIG for Python Resource Cataloguing

    SIG for Python Resource Cataloguing SIG for Python Resource Cataloguing This SIG was created to discuss and build a catalog of Python resources. The SIG charter was: The Python Catalog SIG aims at producing a master index of Python software and other resources. It will begin by figuring out what the requirements are, converging on a design for the data schema, and producing an implementation. ("Implementation" will almost certainly include mean a set of CGI scripts for browsing t...

  • Catalog Requirements

    Catalog Requirements Catalog Requirements There are a few steps needed to find and install a package: Discovery : which module does what I need? Download : where can I get a copy? Security : is this actually from the package author, and not a Trojan horse? Installation : how do I compile the package, install it, and set it up? Updating : what's the latest version of a package? do I need to get an updated version for my system? The ...

  • Compiler-SIG

    Compiler-SIG Compiler-SIG This SIG provides a forum for discussing compilation and program analysis issues. Unlike most SIGs, it does not have a specific mandate or deliverable. There are several independent projects to develop compilers, type checkers, and related tools. The CPython and JPython distributions also contain compilers, of course; future versions of these compilers will also be discussed on this sig. There will likely be some overlap between the types-sig and the co...

  • Python Getopt SIG

    Python Getopt SIG Python Getopt SIG The purpose of this SIG was to come up with a new and improved library for command-line parsing in Python 2.3. Everybody seems to agree that the venerable getopt module just doesn't do enough. The trick is to find something that is sufficiently powerful and flexible without being too complex to use, especially for novice programmers. The SIG was kicked off shortly after David Goodger and Greg Ward (your humble narrator and champion of this SI...

  • Comparing Option-Parsing Libraries

    Comparing Option-Parsing Libraries Comparing Option-Parsing Libraries NOTE: this page is present for historical purposes only. The getopt-sig is retired, and Optik was added to the Python standard library (as optparse) in Python 2.3. (It was checked in to Python's CVS tree in November 2002, and first released in July 2003.) Since I proposed Optik for the Python standard library, a number of other option-parsing libraries have come to light. I'm trying to evaluate them by ...

  • [PYTHON MATRIX-SIG] FAQ

    [PYTHON MATRIX-SIG] FAQ Here's my first step at creating a FAQ for this project. If anybodyelse wants to take it up, please feel free. This is going to be veryfree form, off the top of my head and unedited. Still, I anticipatethat it will be useful. Occaionally I will steal text entirely fromother people on the SIG without any attribution. I'll try to fix thislater.

  • Towards a Standard Parser Generator

    Towards a Standard Parser Generator Towards a Standard Parser Generator Martin v. Löwis Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin Institut für Informatik loewis@informatik.hu-berlin.de Abstract Developing parsers for "little" languages is a common task for many software developers. People have frequently requested inclusion of a specific parser generator framework into the Python library. In this paper, we compare several Python parser generators, using the XPath langua...

  • The Python type system SIG

    The Python type system SIG The Python type system SIG This list has been created for discussions on issues related to Python's type system. Recently, the types SIG has come under attack for inactivity, and in response Paul Prescod has offered to guide the SIG towards accomplishing a single specific goal: to develop an optional static typing system for Python. The December 1999 archives of the SIG show the discussion that lead to this decision. Resources The following resource...

  • Python Buildbot

    Python Buildbot The Python development team builds and tests on many machines, architectures and configurations. These variations are divided into two categories: stable and unstable. The stable versions are the primary platforms that should always have all tests passing. We manage all our main branches for stability. We strive to keep all configurations passing all tests, but sometimes we require specialized expertise to fix problems. If you can help fix problems on an unstable platform, ...
