  EDU-SIG: Python in Education EDU-SIG: Python in Education More and more, Python is making inroads at all levels in education. Python offers an interactive environment in which to explore procedural, functional and object oriented approaches to problem solving. Its high level data structures and clear syntax make it an ideal first language, while the large number of existing libraries make it suitable to tackle almost any programming tasks. Edu-sig, through its mailing list, provides an infor...

  Notes (editors: check NEWS.help for information about editing NEWS using ReST.) What's New in Python 2.3.5? Release date: 08-FEB-2005 Core and builtins Partially revert the fix for #1074011; don't try to fflush stdin anymore. Library Applied a security fix to SimpleXMLRPCserver (PSF-2005-001). This disables recursive traversal through instance attributes, which can be exploited in various ways. Bug #1114776. Applied a fix to the copy.py fix in 2.3.5rc1 to deal with types that don't hav...

• Notes

  ...comprehensions and further improves their performance (about 35%). Implemented rich comparisons for floats, which seems to make comparisons involving NaNs somewhat less surprising when the underlying C compiler actually implements C99 semantics. Optimized list.extend() to save memory and no longer create intermediate sequences. Also, extend() now pre-allocates the needed memory whenever the length of the iterable is known in advance -- this halves the time to extend the list. Optimized list res...

• Computer Programming for Everybody

  Computer Programming for Everybody Computer Programming for Everybody This is the text of a revised funding proposal that we sent to DARPA in August 1999. In March, we heard that at least an earlier version of the proposal was accepted by DARPA; the work has begun late 1999 and will hopefully last two years, although we've only received funding for the first year (through October 2000). We're keeping our fingers crossed for the rest. Unfortunately, the move of the Python developm...
