    ...Python in an earlier class and was impressed with the power and ease of use it provided. The fact that the other four members had no experience with the language fortunately did not stop us from making the wise decision to use Python.

This proved incredibly easy with wxPython, a Python wrapper for the powerful wxWindows GUI toolkit. Setting up a frame to take full control of ...

  • Standard Exception Classes in Python 1.5

    ...Python 1.5 Standard Exception Classes in Python 1.5 (updated for Python 1.5.2 -baw) User-defined Python exceptions can be either strings or Python classes. Since classes have many nice properties when used as exceptions, it is desirable to migrate to a situation where classes are used exclusively. Prior to Python 1.5 alpha 4, Python's standard exceptions (IOError, TypeError, etc.) were defined as strings. Changing these to classes posed some particularly nasty backward compatibil...

  • Unifying types and classes in Python 2.2

    ...Python ever, and yet it can be done with very few backwards incompatibilities. The changes are described in minute detail in a series of PEPs (Python Enhancement Proposals). PEPs are not designed to be tutorials, and the PEPs describing the type/class unification are sometimes hard to read. They also aren't finished yet. That's where this paper comes in: it introduces the key elements of the type/class unification for the average Python programmer. A bit of terminology: "classic Pyt...
