  • Python Patterns - An Optimization Anecdote

    Python Patterns - An Optimization Anecdote Warning This page stays here for historical reasons and it may contain outdated or incorrect information. The other day, a friend asked me a seemingly simple question: what's the best way to convert a list of integers into a string, presuming that the integers are ASCII values.

  • Standard Exception Classes in Python 1.5

    Standard Exception Classes in 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.
