  • Python Success Stories

    ...add features more quickly than our competitors. We've been able to implement SOAP/XML and WSDL support and extended other aspects of the application's functionality well ahead of competitive products. One of the key enablers of this efficiency in maintenance and improvement is the inherent clarity and readability of the Python language. Other important factors are the vibrant and responsive Python development community, and the high degree of backwards compatibility and stability we have seen as...

  • Comparing Python to Other Languages

    ...addition operation, which may be an overloaded user-defined method. Java, on the other hand, can perform an efficient integer or floating point addition, but requires variable declarations for a and b, and does not allow overloading of the + operator for instances of user-defined classes. For these reasons, Python is much better suited as a "glue" language, while Java is better characterized as a low-level implementation language. In fact, the two together make an excellent combination...

  • Foreword for "Programming Python" (2nd ed.)

    ...add a feature to Python, another patch of Mark's hair turns grey: there goes another chapter out of date! Especially the slew of new features added to Python 2.0, which appeared just as he was working on this second edition, made him worry: what if Python 2.1 added as many new things? The book would be out of date as soon as it was published! Relax, Mark. Python will continue to evolve, but I promise that I won't remove things that are in active use! For example, there was a lot of...

  • Metaclasses in Python 1.5

    ...addition to the check ``is the type of the base class callable,'' there's a check ``does the base class have a __class__ attribute.'' If so, it is assumed that the __class__ attribute refers to a class. Let's repeat our simple example from above: class C(B): a = 1 b = 2 Assuming B has a __class__ attribute, this translates into: C = B.__class__('C', (B,), {'a': 1, 'b': 2}) This is exactly the same as before except that instead of type(B), B.__class__ is invo...

  • What's new in Python 2.3

    ...Add this line: bsddb185 bsddbmodule.c to Modules/Setup. In most cases you should not require any -I, -L or -l flags. It seems on those systems which still ship 1.85, /usr/include/db.h is the include file and the symbols are present in libc. To force that version of the module to be used as the default when importing the name "bsddb", add the following line to your sitecustomize.py file: import bsddb185 as bsddb bz2 - interface to the bz2 compression library, by Gustavo Niemeyer...
