• Python Success Stories

  ...while parts of it were still being developed. To support this, we planned to deliver the system in stages, but we were aware from the outset that many of the system requirements still had to be discovered and understood. We knew this would lead us to rewrite parts of the system as we went along and worked to obviate this with design decisions aimed at decoupling the system's components. Python's dynamic nature and supreme flexibility made it easier to write generic interfaces, which later facili...

• Python Success Stories

  ...While easy to write, Perl code often appears very cryptic when read. A common Python module was developed, with a few common classes that are used on all the OVO agent platforms. Most of the platform-specific customization was accomplished in the class initialization. In some cases, some methods needed to be overridden as well. On most platforms only two Python files were needed. With IDLE and CVS, development was easy and convenient. Functionality of Integration Modules The integration module...

  ...while improving overall quality. This enormous reduction in design time has been possible by automating more of the design, calculations, information search, and result checking. Other customers have created entire applications, based on Tribon technology, that fit perfectly into their way of working and thinking. Python is also used to customize the Tribon system through the implementation of hooks and event driven triggers that allow the user to control the graphical user interface, informatio...

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

  ...While most died-in-the-wool programmers expect this, it's a continuing source of confusion for newbies, who make up an ever-larger fraction of the -- exponentially growing -- Python user population. From a numerical perspective, it really makes more sense for the / operator to yield the same value regardless of the type of the operands: after all, that's what all other numeric operators do. But we can't simply change Python so that 1/2 yield 0.5, because (like removing the string module...

• Python Humor

  ...While Guido has no interest in being the president, the PSA thought it would be a cool way to collect money. The centerpiece of the campaign featured an attractive offer to spend the night in Guido's spare bedroom in exchange for a $50,000.00 contribution. (Mark Lutz stayed TWICE!) (2) Since the proliferation of Monty Python related names (Python, Monty, Grail, Eric-the-Half-a-Compiler, et al.) has increased over the past year, the PSA felt it would be wise to licencing the Python name to f...

  ...while improving the overall quality of our tools. Since changing to Python, layout implementation has become much easier for a variety of reasons: Python's runtime error handling makes it easier to locate and fix problems in code. The stack traces produced by Python, even when running in staged production on the custom PowerPanel hardware, have helped to speed up the testing and debugging process. Python's vast standard libraries allow rapid development of functionality without resorting to re...

  ...While this feature allows for quick and flexible code, it is the responsibility of the programmer to make explicit the data types that a function expects. A standard coding style that names variables according to their expected data type is an easy way to address this problem.

He has been involved with the pr...

• SIG for development of Python/C++ integration

  ...While Python allows classes to be created without initialization, C++ does not. Boost.Python currently allows C++ base classes of Python extension classes to remain uninitialized. That behavior is not always appropriate. Goal: Optional support for the automatic default construction of C++ base classes and error reporting when base classes are not initialized. DocString Support Modules, Types, and Functions in Python can be documented with "docstrings", which all...

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

  ...While this is hard to assess objectively, Python is considered a winner in coding time by most who have tried it. In addition, many consider using Python a pleasure -- a better recommendation is hard to imagine. I am solely responsible for Python's strengths and shortcomings, even when some of the code has been written by others. However, its success is the product of a community, starting with the early adopters who picked it up when I first published Python on the net, and who spr...
