  • Proposed Improvements to Module Cleanup

    Proposed Improvements to Module Cleanup Proposed Improvements to Module Cleanup I'm experimenting with a better way of cleaning up at the end of an execution run. Without implementing true GC, I can never do it 100% right, but I can implement a predictable set of rules based on practical observation that will solve most problems that are actually observed. Here's my proposal. At the end of this message I list some potential problems with the proposal and ask for feedback. This wi...

    ...executable generated by freeze or similar programs, earlier versions of 2.3 would fail if the warnings module could not be found on the file system. Fixes SF bug 771097. A warning about assignments to module attributes that shadow builtins, present in earlier releases of 2.3, has been removed. It is not possible to create subclasses of builtin types like str and tuple that define an itemsize. Earlier releases of Python 2.3 allowed this by mistake, leading to crashes and other problems. The thr...

  • What's new in Python 2.3

    What's new in Python 2.3 What's new in Python 2.3 Here are the (subjective) highlights of what's new in Python 2.3. Faster According to a couple of simple benchmark, Python 2.3 is about 20-30% faster than Python 2.2.3. Some of this speed-up was obtained by removing the SET_LINENO opcodes, which means that the difference is less impressive when comparing "python -O"; the rest was various careful tune-ups. New Tools A brand new version of IDLE (from the IDLEfork project at S...

In 1.6 and earlier, they never produced a sign, and raised an error if the value of the long was too large to fit in a Python int. In 2.0, they produced a sign if and only if too large to fit in an int. This was inconsistent across platforms (because ...

    Python Success Stories Introduction Consultants naturally try to provide their customers with the best solutions for a problem. Sometimes this means exploring new areas together with the customer or directing the project into a solution space that better fits the problem than the usual "buzzword-compliant" approaches. We've seen these fail too often, misleading the project into solving problems relating to the selected technology, rather than meeting the original project plan. Pyt...

I haven't checked how this affects things, but it should make symbols in one shared library available to the next one.

This is a standard Python interpreter that does not pop up a console window; handy for pure Tkinter applications. All output to the origina...
