    ...object-oriented programming language. It is often compared to Tcl, Perl, Scheme or Java.</p> <p>The Python development team has discovered a flaw in the repr() implementation of Unicode string objects which can lead to execution of arbitrary code due to an overflow in a buffer allocated with insufficient size.</p> <p>The flaw only manifests itself in Python builds configured to support UCS-4 Unicode strings (using the --enable-unicode=ucs4 configure flag). This is still n...

This also allowed us to keep source code outside of the Zope object database and on the file system, where it could be used with our existing CVS infrastructure for source code control and reporting. EZRO was developed in Python, as a Zope Product. It interacts with other Zope Products and uses aspell as an external process for spell checking. The content management interface and published web content...

Sprints that happen at conferences can have larger turnout though (like [PyCon Sprints](https://us.pycon.org/2017/community/sprints/) for example). [OpenHatch created a helpful in-person event handbook](http://opensource-events.com/) that can help you run a productive dev sprint.

I wanted to preserve and expand the ability to easily make changes to business logic without having to recompile code - a feature that is very useful when supporting a manufacturing environment. The original common business practice code of the system, as well as the specific business practice code for the first few TAPs, was written in BSL. It was durin...
