• Foreword for "Programming Python" (2nd ed.)

  ...Programming Python" (2nd ed.) Foreword for "Programming Python" (2nd ed.) This is the foreword I wrote for Mark Lutz' book "Programming Python" (2nd ed.), published by O'Reilly in 2001. Less than five years ago, I wrote the foreword for the 1st edition of Programming Python. Since then, the book has changed about as much as the language and the Python community! I no longer feel the need to defend Python: the statistics and developments listed in Mark's Preface speak for ...

  ...program that didn't use that navigation style, he had begun using it as if it did. So I thought, why not make an image viewer that worked his way? Why not write a program that lets me build picture environments from our life, and lets Nat navigate through them in the style he wanted? One of over 1500 images in Natsworld. The user interface is simply a set of directional cursors (near center) Zoom in Choosing Python I had used Python for small scripting projects before, and liked its quick...

  ...program, some commercial and others developed in-house by different groups around the company, and each program had its own set of inputs, options, configurations, and failure behaviors. An experimental chemist usually didn't have the training to work with them, which meant that the computational chemists were forced to take time out of their work on developing new techniques to run routine models. In 2000, AstraZeneca wanted to improve this process so that experimental chemists could make bette...

  ...program guide has been passed off to Yannick, Ewa, Van and Doug N. Idan Gazit has been tapped to do the artwork for the Program Guide and T-Shirts. Work on this progresses slowly. Negotiations with Elegant Stitches are ongoing. The Program Committee is going full steam - due to the sheer number of proposals and the amount of work required, they are missing the original delivery dates however, and are adjusting as best they can. Tutorial selection/discussion is ongoing, and making excellent progr...

• Python Patterns - Implementing Graphs

  ...program can be seen as a graph (where cycles indicate recursion, and unreachable nodes represent dead code). Few programming languages provide direct support for graphs as a data type, and Python is no exception. However, graphs are easily built out of lists and dictionaries. For instance, here's a simple graph (I can't use drawings in these columns, so I write down the graph's arcs): A -> B A -> C B -> C B -> D C -> D D -> C E -> F F -> C ...

  ...program analysis issues. Unlike most SIGs, it does not have a specific mandate or deliverable. There are several independent projects to develop compilers, type checkers, and related tools. The CPython and JPython distributions also contain compilers, of course; future versions of these compilers will also be discussed on this sig. There will likely be some overlap between the types-sig and the compiler-sig: The compiler will be responsible for implementing the type checker. Thi...

• Job - CTO (Python Expert & Technical Leader) – Equity/Stock Options Available

  Location: Rome Italy

  Telecommuting: Yes

  This is a consultant role: you must be able to invoice and work as an independent contractor. You are a hands-on technical leader who understands the importance of infrastructure resilience, data quality, and long-term vision. You don’t just solve problems—you prevent them. We are looking for proficiency in programming, preferably …

Goodger reported that at PyCon James Tauber volunteered to act as administrator for PSF projects in Google's Summer of Code program, and Brett Cannon and Neal Norwitz agreed. 14   Python.org Mirrors S. Deibel asked: "Can we drop the mirrors list from python.org, or officially say it's unmaintained?" The Board a...

• PSF Developers in Residence

  ...Program supports full-time developers who are focused on improving the Python programming language and its ecosystem. These developers play a crucial role in advancing Python’s core development, maintaining critical infrastructure, and supporting the broader community through mentorship, documentation, and tooling. Their work also addresses essential areas such as packaging, supply chain security, and the continued development and maintenance of PyPI, ensuring Python remains reliable and accessi...

  ...programming environment. This documentation tool was used for code reviews in the software development methodology at my company, and led to significant (>$1M) in cost savings. Before starting this project, I had no prior experience using SGML, XML, or other document markup languages. It was only when I was perilously close to reinventing the concept of markup languages, by adapting direct PythonCOM-to-Word interfaces from Mark Hammond's book Python Programming on Win32, that I decided there ...

  ...program, is essential for many applications. An important aspect of biomolecular simulations is visualization. MMTK delegates this task to external tools. Two visualization programs, VMD and PyMOL, are particularly well integrated. Most MMTK users access the library from simple Python scripts, but MMTK has also been used as a basis for end-user programs with graphical user interfaces, such as nMOLDYN and DomainFinder. MMTK currently consists of about 18,000 lines of Python code, 12,000 lines of ...

  ...programming time was saved. Taking into account that each platform is very different, this was a very pleasant result. The majority of the work that had to be done was analysis and testing, not programming. The modules described here have been running for almost 2 years now without serious issues. The code is still easy to understand and easy to tailor for a new platform or to add a new feature. Developing integration code with Python is fast and easy. Python's native OO approach -- something th...

• Python Core Mentorship

  ...Program is predicated on the idea that Python core, and Python as a whole would be served by further lowering the barrier to entry of contribution to Python core (original proposal) The mission of the Python Core Mentor Program is to provide an open and welcoming place to connect students, programmers – and anyone interested in contributing to the Python core development. This project is based on the idea that the best way to welcome new people into any project is a venue which connects them to ...

  ...Programs (TAPs) for about 6 years. It was well understood by the developers, but had the following disadvantages: Since the majority of the coding was done in C, development of a TAP took 3-6 months. Likewise, debugging runtime errors in installed code required intense analysis. Most of the common code was not well modularized, making general changes in common business practice impossible. Tight coupling with system APIs married the code base to technologies on a path to extinction, such as OS...

  ...programmer, picking up Python is a one-week deal because things just behave as you expect them to, so there's less chasing your tail and far more productivity." He contrasts that with C++ and Java, which he says takes a good programmer weeks to grasp and months to become proficient. Friedrich says that even the non-programming engineers at USA learned to do Python coding quickly. "We wanted to draft the coding energy of the engineering staff, but we didn't want them to have to learn C+...
