Also, the metaclass can implement a __prepare__ function which will be called to create the dictionary for the new class namespace. The long-deprecated argument "pend" of PyFloat_FromString() has been removed. The dir() function has been extended to call the __dir__() method on its argument, if it exists. If not, it will work like before. This allows customizing the output of dir() i...

  • Comparing Option-Parsing Libraries

    ...If you actually want to run any of these without modifying them, you'll need to get the Ripoff source code from its CVS repository. This is because I wanted 1) a realistic --version option (which uses ripoff.__version__), and 2) realistic help for the -d/--device option (which relies on the ripoff.cdrom extension module, specifically the get_default_device() function). The real purpose here, though, is to examine the code, not to run it.

    ...ificantly slower than more mainstream, statically typed languages. However, this result is not as significant as it is sometimes made out to be, for two reasons. Firstly, many applications are rarely CPU bound, and simply do not need the intensive performance that the fastest languages can give you. For interactive desktop applications, the speed difference between C# and IronPython would rarely be discernible by the user. Some programs do require significant CPU performance, either because they...

Holden replied that we want to recruit as many of the existing pydotorg-maintainers as possible, and he plans to write some documentation to help newbie members of the team. A. Kuchling noted that the pydotorg list is seeing little action lately.
