We did consider C# since "Mono" supports it and the guys here were already well-versed in C# development on Windows. However, we lacked confidence that code developed on Windows would work equally well on Mono, and all development would need to actively avoid API that would be missing on Mono. ...

    ...objects, modules, threads, exceptions, and automatic memory management. At the time, both C and C++ were rejected as missing at least some of these features. The solution needed to be multi-threaded. Neither Perl nor Java was chosen as the solution at the time. Perl was not considered to be as robust. Java did not allow control over the core interpreter. The language was subject to the quirks of the particular Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed on each system. Although a JRE could have bee...

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

    ...object-oriented language, Python aims to encourage the creation of reusable code. Even if we all wrote perfect documentation all of the time, code can hardly be considered reusable if it's not readable. Many of Python's features, in addition to its use of indentation, conspire to make Python code highly readable. This reflects the philosophy of ABC, which was intended to teach programming in its purest form, and therefore placed a high value on clarity. Readability is often enhanced...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...Object-Oriented facilities of Python are simple, powerful yet not coercive. This allows embedded developers (who are often less familiar with OOP) to gradually adopt the Object-Oriented paradigm in their work. As embedded systems grow in complexity, the advantage of using Python to augment traditional techniques becomes more and more important. At Carmanah, Python adoption (which began with the crosswalk traffic beacon, a sophisticated device that includes wireless networking) has spread to sev...

  • Python Patterns - An Optimization Anecdote

    ...objects of N bytes (plus fixed overhead), while f6() begins by allocating a list of N items, which usually costs 4N bytes (8N bytes on a 64-bit machine) - assuming the character objects are shared with similar objects elsewhere in the program (like small integers, Python caches strings of length one in most cases). Stop, said my friend, before you get into negative times - this is fast enough for my program. I agreed, though I had wanted to try one more approach: write the whol...

    ...Object Model (DOM) on parsing each XML file. Classes defined for each element in the file are instantiated as the DOM is generated, and methods on the classes are used to perform the necessary XML transformations during page generation. This allows us to realize our web templates with the full power of an object-oriented scripting language. During implementation, we found that all of the key features of hsc could be supported quite easily in Python: Automatically calculate image sizes? The Pyt...

  • Parade of the PEPs

    ...Object Adaptation - Evans I never even understood what this PEP was 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 ...

    ...object models from Java bytecodes [Jackson]. Womble extracts object model directly from source (or object) code, rather than from a formal specification. Because this method does not rely on the existence of a formal specification (such as a UML model), we believe it is more accessible to ordinary users. A similar approach can be used for analyzing Python programs, although Python's dynamic typing and "first class" functions and classes pose significant challenges. We will also investiga...
