  • Python Success Stories

    ...Python generator application that would drive a set of front end translators, a content inserter, and a post-processing formatter to generate the reports. Python had recently been chosen as our department's successor language for automated test scripts. I noticed Python's potential beyond use for testing, so I obtained permission from my manager to use it for this task. The front end translators in this application harvest content (pictures, tables, paragraphs) from various data sources and pla...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...Python was regarded fondly by our founders, but could not directly fulfil the requirement for .NET interoperability. Python for .NET was considered, allowing Python developers to call .NET assemblies, but in the end this lost out to IronPython, a reimplementation of Python as a .NET language, which runs directly on the Common Language Runtime (CLR). At the time, IronPython felt like a somewhat risky proposition. At v0.7 it was still relatively young, and had an extremely low profile. The acquisi...

  • Python 2.4.1 - Linux RPMs

    ...Python? A. The RPMs that start with "python2.4" are built to not interfere with the system Python. They install as "/usr/bin/python2.4" and will not conflict with the system Python unless you are running on a system that ships the a version of Python which has the same major/minor number. To invoke the interpreter with these packages, you will explicitly have to run "python2.4". Note that all Python RPMs provided by Python.org and Red Hat provide a "/usr/bin/...

  • What's new in Python 1.5 and beyond

    ...PYTHONHOME (see the usage message, e.g. try python -h). In most situations, the interpreter can be installed at an arbitrary location without having to recompile. The build process now builds a single library (libpython1.5.a) which contains everything except for the main() entry point. This makes life much easier for applications that embed Python. There is much better support for embedding, including threads, multiple interpreters(!), uninitialization, and access to the global interpreter loc...
