  • Summary of "Extension Building" Session

    ...Python script tentatively called setup.py (the fact that this name overlaps somewhat with the module description file in the Python distribution and in many large module distributions is deliberate, and may be construed as a bug or a feature). See below for arguments to setup.py and what happens when it's run. Also, nobody disagreed with my contention that the system should work on "extensions" (ie. modules written in C) or plain ol' "modules" (written in P...

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

    ...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 themselves. ...

  • Comparing Option-Parsing Libraries

    ...Python standard library (as optparse) in Python 2.3. (It was checked in to Python's CVS tree in November 2002, and first released in July 2003.) Since I proposed Optik for the Python standard library, a number of other option-parsing libraries have come to light. I'm trying to evaluate them by implementing the same real-world command-line interface with several different libraries. Currently, implementations exist for: Greg Ward's (that's me) Optik Russ Cox' iter...

No array attributes (namely shape, flat, real and imag) for Python versions previous to 2.2 (we use the properties feature to support this for 2.2 and later; so it is only incompatible with Numeric with older versions of Python) There are more minor differences, but these are the major backward compatiblity issues at the Python level. Two of them should not be problems for most users using Python 2.2 or later. It does have a number of importa...
