    Python Success Stories Introduction Consultants naturally try to provide their customers with the best solutions for a problem. Sometimes this means exploring new areas together with the customer or directing the project into a solution space that better fits the problem than the usual "buzzword-compliant" approaches. We've seen these fail too often, misleading the project into solving problems relating to the selected technology, rather than meeting the original project plan. Pyt...

    ...bytes of RAM, several K of ROM (to store the program) and orders of magnitude less processing capability than a conventional desktop microprocessor. Hardly an environment for running Python! There are projects to adapt Python for embedded applications, but they require significant resources on the microcontroller, and are still in the very early stages. Surprisingly, however, it turns out that standard Python is of tremendous value throughout an embedded system's lifecycle. This is because th...

    ...bytes before the zip compatible archive. Zipfiles containing a comment at the end are still unsupported. Extension modules A longstanding bug in the parser module's initialization could cause fatal internal refcount confusion when the module got initialized more than once. This has been fixed. Fixed memory leak in pyexpat; using the parser's ParseFile() method with open files that aren't instances of the standard file type caused an instance of the bound .read() method to be leaked on ever...

    ...bytes. When read on a box where Python ints are 4 bytes, such values are converted to Python longs. In restricted execution mode (using the rexec module), unmarshalling code objects is no longer allowed. This plugs a security hole. unittest.TestResult instances no longer store references to tracebacks generated by test failures. This prevents unexpected dangling references to objects that should be garbage collected between tests. Tools Tools/scripts/fixdiv.py has been added which can be us...

    Notes Python 2.1.3 Release Notes Release date: 08-April-2002 What's new in Python 2.1.3 (final)? Core Fixed two bugs reported as SF #535905: under certain conditions, deallocating a deeply nested structure could cause a segfault in the garbage collector, due to interaction with the "trashcan" code; access to the current frame during destruction of a local variable could access a pointer to freed memory. SF #457466: popenx() argument mangling hangs python (win9x only). Under certa...
