  • Mailing Lists

    ...problems. You can send email to python-help by writing to help @ python.org for individual support. Mail sent there lands in the mailbox of a small group of volunteers who may reply to reasonable requests for help, depending on their area of expertise. Using it is much preferred to sending mail directly to Guido or some other individual, but less preferable than posting to comp.lang.python. In all cases, try searching the various archives first.

  • Python Success Stories

    ...problems we had were caused from platform specific modules (mostly on Window) and from the development of the installation systems (Windows again).

No toolkit can compare with its easy of use, power, stability and portability. As an example, the Mac OS X port of the IceBridge console was possible in ...

  • The Python 2.3 Method Resolution Order

    ...problems with the Python 2.2 and 2.3 MROs, they give both L[D] = D A B C Guido points out in his essay [3] that the classic MRO is not so bad in practice, since one can typically avoids diamonds for classic classes. But all new style classes inherit from object, therefore diamonds are unavoidable and inconsistencies shows up in every multiple inheritance graph. The MRO of Python 2.2 makes breaking monotonicity difficult, but not impossible. The following example, originally provided by Samuel...
