Instead of developing each user interface from the ground up on a per-customer basis, Frequentis has developed a user interface layout tool called PanView, similar to products like QDesigner or Visual Studio. This tool is used to design and build the user interface which is then executed by a piece of software called th...

Python could be used to build a set of internal interfaces, and as a scripting language would allow customers to programmatically alter the behavior of the indexing spider and parser to meet local requirements. This extensibility without the need to learn proprietary scripting languages or API's has been highly regarded by many customers. Python could be embedded into the HTML pages that make up the product's user interface, and used during page gene...

  • Quotes about Python

    ...If you don't have any need to expose code and algorithms in a simple and safe way to others, you can argue that providing a scripting language is not worth the effort. However, if you do have that need, as we did, scripting is a no brainer, and it makes complete sense to use a powerful, documented, cross-platform standard such as Python." -- Mustafa Thamer of Firaxis Games, talking about Civilization IV. Quoted on page 18 of the August 2005 Game Developer Magazine. "Python, like man...

    ...If it weren't for Python, MayaVi would not exist. Programming in Python is such a pleasure and so easy that even a spare time project can be very successful in doing what it set out to do.

I've learned so much, become very productive with it, and hopefully have also made others productive with the t...

    ...If it isn't found, it raises an AttributeError exception. (In a more realistic example, it would first have to look through the base classes as well.) If it is found, there are two possibilities: it's either a function or it isn't. If it's not a function, it is assumed to be a class variable, and its value is returned. If it's a function, we have to ``wrap'' it in instance of yet another helper class, BoundMethod. The BoundMethod class is needed to implement a familiar feature: when...
