As it turned out, for performance reasons, the eval() implementation in Python accepts only built-in dictionary types and not an emulated mapping type, so we had to engage in some extra trickery to make our on-demand dependency system work with equations. Nevertheless, the entire implementation was quite easy. Results PyDrone took about 3 months of development time, another 3 months of QA, and 3 weeks of documentation tim...

We have since successfully licensed the product to a number of companies and beat popular branded competitor products in reviews.

Although its dictionaries can be used as lists, this caused unnecessary complexity in practice. Lua code is easy to follow for short scripts, but its syntax and minimal standard library makes it unmanageable for larger programs.

Machine crashes are a sad tradition at registries resulting in unexpected delays, clients frantically hitting Submit while trying to send a completed Web form, and bad press for the registry afterwards. For a variety of reasons, this particular landrush was a technical success, with zero crashes. This article focuses on the role that Python played in this success. Buffering th...

Our first web sites developed with this system consisted of a mix of hsc macros and Perl scripts that generated hsc source files. In 1998, hsc's author halted further development, and we became quite motivated to find an alternative. At first we decided to continue development of hsc ourselves, and planned to make it compatible with XML, which was beginning to become popular at the time. ...

A little-known fact is that when Python executes a class statement, it enters a new local namespace, and all assignments and function definitions take place in this namespace. Thus, after executing the following class statement: class C: a = 1 def f(s): pass the class namespace's contents ...
