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

    ...Python as a working title for the project, being in a slightly irreverent mood (and a big fan of Monty Python's Flying Circus). Today, I can safely say that Python has changed my life. I have moved to a different continent. I spend my working days developing large systems in Python, when I'm not hacking on Python or answering Python-related email. There are Python T-shirts, workshops, mailing lists, a newsgroup, and now a book. Frankly, my only unfulfilled wish is to have my pictu...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...Python? Python was not our first choice as the main programming language it was a coincidence. When we started our project we was very proficient in Perl and completely unaware of Python: so we chose Perl. We discovered Python when we decided that we had to substitute the PerlTK user interface with a Web-based one. We found Zope, and after some attempts to integrate Perl with Zope, we switched to Python. To make a log story short, at the end we dropped Zope but kept using Python (and rewrote the...

  • Towards a Standard Parser Generator

    ...Python from bison code, the parser was not thread safe. It should be noted that some of these problems have been resolved with the 0.11.1 release of 4Suite. When analysing parser generators, the following absolute requirements where defined: The generated parsers should allow semantic actions in Python. This requirement is obvious, since it would not be a Python parser generator otherwise. It was no requirement that the generator itself is a Python program. ...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...Python a mainstay since 1994 Enter Python. "We'd been using Python since 1994," says Friedrich, "when I literally stumbled across Python as I was searching the pre-Web Gopher FTP space for some help with a C++ project we were doing." Being an inveterate systems engineer, Friedrich "just had to investigate it." He was stunned by what he discovered. "Twenty minutes after my first encounter with Python, I had downloaded it, compiled it, and installed it on my SPAR...
