  • Unifying types and classes in Python 2.2

    ...Python ever, and yet it can be done with very few backwards incompatibilities. The changes are described in minute detail in a series of PEPs (Python Enhancement Proposals). PEPs are not designed to be tutorials, and the PEPs describing the type/class unification are sometimes hard to read. They also aren't finished yet. That's where this paper comes in: it introduces the key elements of the type/class unification for the average Python programmer. A bit of terminology: "classic Pyt...

    ...Python to highlight it on their business card -- as far as the perception among companiest that there are or aren't enough Python programmers out there. Holden: Personally I think we should instead have an approved "I use Python" motif, which incorporates the logo in an approved design. Cannon: I basically don't want the guy to look like he represents the PSF or himself as a developer of Python instead of a developer in Python. I am fine with it, but I don't mind giving his pr...

  • 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...
