  • Python Software Foundation: Press Release 20-Dec-2019

    ...about. Improvements in concurrency, fault handling, testing, and debugging provide developers with the opportunity to create more robust and secure applications. Going forward, Python 3 will be the only major version of CPython that is actively maintained for bugs and security issues. Users are urged to migrate to a supported version of Python 3 in order to benefit from its many improvements, as well as to avoid potential security vulnerabilities in Python 2.x after April 2020. For the curren...

  • Parade of the PEPs

    ...about until Alex Martelli explained it to me. I think it's similar to an operation in Zope 3 that looks for an adapter to a given object that implements a given interface. If the object itself implements the interface, it is returned itself; otherwise a table of registered adapters is searched systematically to find the most suitable adapter. But that's about all I know of the subject, and I think it should remain a nice idea, until we have a standard way to talk about interfaces. S...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...about the class structure, the calling code is even readable. But the size of this code isn't the real shocker. Brace yourself: this code only took me about ninety minutes to write -- and it worked correctly the first time I ran it. To say I was astonished would have been positively wallowing in understatement. It's remarkable enough when implementations of simple techniques work exactly as expected the first time; but my first metaclass hack in a new language, six days from a cold standing star...

  • Python Software Foundation: Minutes of Board of Directors Meeting, December 13, 2005

    ...about putting a test server up. A. Kuchling replied that we can certainly create a test server, but Tim hasn't asked him to do anything in particular. D. Goodger volunteered to help with Mac OS X, and commented that the redesign should be up & running before PyCon. S. Holden replied that it must be up before PyCon, but there isn't much to do now. S. Holden said he would speak with Tim Parkin and they would contact A. Kuchling about setting up a publicly-visible test server. Then help coul...

  • Thread-SIG - SIG on Process Threading in Python

    ...about active and inactive lists. This list's mission is to improve the status of threading in Python. Specifically: Python will have a sufficiently powerful threading interface that users can concentrate on using threads rather than writing threading tools. There will be sufficient Python threading documentation. Python should support threading well on every platform with decent native OS support. There should be some ...

  • Python Software Foundation: Minutes of Board of Directors Meeting (November 11, 2003)

    ...about such activities. Guido remarked that the next priority should be the papers deadline. Thomas reported on the progress of the website committee. He apologized for not dealing with the corporate links discussion, and reported that the PWC has not done very much. The committee should not do the redesign itself, but merely oversee it, and give feedback to the web designers. Guido commented that the committee apparently did not even do that. Jeremy asked whether Kevin Altis is still involved; ...

    ...about implementation details for any specific table. The API also uses meta-data to automatically validate and convert values passed to the database. This is done by a "normalizer" function that converts the Python data types being passed through the API into valid SQL values. The function also verifies types and formats that are not necessarily checked by the database or by Python, such as phone numbers and ZIP codes. Reusing Objects Everywhere Once the database API was complete, w...
