The first likely opportunity to remove the string module will be at the introduction of Python 3000; and even then there will probably be a string module in the backwards compatibility library for use with old code. Python 3000?! Yes, that's the nickname for the next generation of the Python interpreter. The name may be considered a pun on Windows 2000, or a reference to Mystery Sci...

This was done with SWIG, which allows for the automated development of Python language bindings for C and C++ code. The BATS team is now working on taking aspects of the program to local high schools. We believe that it will be easy to illustrate the concepts of accessible design through Python's easy to re...

Often, programmers fall in love with Python because of the increased productivity it provides. Since there is no compilation step, the edit-test-debug cycle is incredibly fast.
