Computer Programming for Everybody Computer Programming for Everybody This is the text of a revised funding proposal that we sent to DARPA in August 1999. In March, we heard that at least an earlier version of the proposal was accepted by DARPA; the work has begun late 1999 and will hopefully last two years, although we've only received funding for the first year (through October 2000). We're keeping our fingers crossed for the rest. Unfortunately, the move of the Python developm...

Bugs in Python 2.3.2 <h3>Bugs in Python 2.3.2</h3> <ul> <li>IDLE now executes code in a separate process. To communicate between the main process and executing processes, IDLE opens a socket to 127.0.0.1 (the local machine).

This problem only occurs if you run a firewall on the same machine as IDLE.</li> </ul> &...
...locals dictionary used for variable lookup during expression evaluation. 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...

Python Success Stories Introduction I have been programming in C and C++ since 1994 and have led many teams in Windows system programming. In 2007, in the context of the Armadillo anti-spam software project at Enovad, I was given the requirement that the software must run both under Windows and Linux. To do this, I had to re-train my team of seasoned Windows system developers to also be able to deliver a product on Linux. I chose to re-evaluate the tools and programming language available to ...

On May 11th, 2004, the rules changed to a more liberal model, allowing many registrations that were not possible before. As a consequence of this change, the registry was faced with receiving a potentially unmanageable burst of requests. This is a problem known as a "landrush" faced by every DNS registry which changes its ...

Infoseek released the original version of Ultraseek Server on March 31, 1997. It was built by wrapping Infoseek's...

Metaclasses in Python 1.5 Metaclasses in Python 1.5 (A.k.a. The Killer Joke :-) (Postscript: reading this essay is probably not the best way to understand the metaclass hook described here. See a message posted by Vladimir Marangozov which may give a gentler introduction to the matter. You may also want to search Deja News for messages with "metaclass" in the subject posted to comp.lang.python in July and August 1998.) In previous Python releases (and still in 1.5), there ...
