  • Standard Exception Classes in Python 1.5

    ...Python 1.5 Standard Exception Classes in Python 1.5 (updated for Python 1.5.2 -baw) User-defined Python exceptions can be either strings or Python classes. Since classes have many nice properties when used as exceptions, it is desirable to migrate to a situation where classes are used exclusively. Prior to Python 1.5 alpha 4, Python's standard exceptions (IOError, TypeError, etc.) were defined as strings. Changing these to classes posed some particularly nasty backward compatibil...

  • Unifying types and classes in Python 2.2

    ...to initialize: __new__ returns a fully initialized object.) If you subclass a built-in immutable type and want to add some mutable state (maybe you add a default conversion to a string type), it's best to initialize the mutable state in the __init__ method and leave __new__ alone. If you want to change the constructor's signature, you often have to override both __new__ and __init__ to accept the new signature. However, most built-in types ignore the arguments to the method they don...

He will also request a sample for final approval. 7   EuroPython Travel Funding The PSF agreed to sponsor EuroPyth...

    ...to write an interpreter for the new scripting language I had been thinking about lately: a descendant of ABC that would appeal to Unix/C hackers. I chose 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 Pyth...
