  • Python Software Foundation: Minutes of Board of Directors Meeting (September 13, 2005)

    ...with Tim Parkin on this subject, and Tim has sent an outline of his approach. Tim is proposing to work out a deployment plan, starting by identifying all dynamic portions of the site. Originally the plan was to use mod_rewrite to map old URLs onto new pages as they came onstream, but it seems this may not be a practical approach. Now Tim plans to flag existing pages with a specific header, pointing to the new content. Later they can be replaced with 301 redirects. M. von Löwis asked if we sh...

  • Foreword for "Programming Python" (1st ed.)

    ...started with ABC, a wonderful teaching language that I had helped create in the early eighties. It was an incredibly elegant and powerful language, aimed at non-professional programmers. Despite all its elegance and power and the availability of a free implementation, ABC never became popular in the Unix/C world. I can only speculate about the reasons, but here's a likely one: the difficulty of adding new "primitive" operations to ABC. It was a monolithic, "closed system", with only t...

  • Unifying types and classes in Python 2.2

    ...with the class as its first argument; its responsibility is to return a new instance of that class. Compare this to __init__: __init__ is called with an instance as its first argument, and it doesn't return anything; its responsibility is to initialize the instance. There are situations where a new instance is created without calling __init__ (for example when the instance is loaded from a pickle). There is no way to create a new instance without calling __new__ (although in some cases...

    ...with Melanie at the convention center to come up with a buffet menu for PyCon's lunches. I am trying to keep the costs as close to 2012 as possible however buffets are more expensive than plated lunches (which is what we have had in previous years). This had to be changed because with this many attendees it is hard to please everyone with a plated lunch. Currently I am averaging $31.40 per person for lunch (this is not final yet). 8.5   PyCon Contract Negotiations I have conta...

  • Computer Programming for Everybody

    ...with a far-ranging impact that can barely be anticipated or imagined. On a shorter term, the quantity and quality of available computer software will improve drastically, as the imagination and labor of millions is applied to the problem. Inventive office workers will be able to improve the software that supports them in their tasks, and share their improvements with their colleagues or-via the Internet-with others far away who are faced with the same tasks and problems. Now is the...

  • Parade of the PEPs

    ...with the use of this mode on Windows to be an explicit way to invoke the default text translation mode. Why can't 't' be used together with '+'? Text mode on Windows supports '+' AFAIK. How does this interact with xreadlines? With "for line in file" ? Why settle for a compile-time option that's off by default? That's asking for problems; people who turn it on will write code that uses the 't' mode and then find that it's not portable. You say that 't' mode is used by i...

  • 2011-04-18 PSF Board Meeting Minutes

    ...started a new blogging project in partnership with the python-dev team to publicize the volunteer efforts from that group. See http://blog.python.org/ for the results. After recruiting a few contributors at PyCon (Anthony Scopatz, Paul Moore, and Brian Curtin), the project had good momentum. We started by creating a list of topics and a backlog of "easy" material to publish to keep the schedule relatively full (the "Meet the Team" series of mini-interviews). Several core dev...
