  • Unifying types and classes in Python 2.2

    ...Python is embedded in another application that creates multiple Python interpreters, the built-in class objects (being statically allocated data structures) are shared between all interpreters; thus, code running in one interpreter might wreak havoc on another interpreter, which is a no-no. Static methods and class methods The new descriptor API makes it possible to add static methods and class methods. Static methods are easy to describe: they behave pretty much like static meth...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...Python a mainstay since 1994 Enter Python. "We'd been using Python since 1994," says Friedrich, "when I literally stumbled across Python as I was searching the pre-Web Gopher FTP space for some help with a C++ project we were doing." Being an inveterate systems engineer, Friedrich "just had to investigate it." He was stunned by what he discovered. "Twenty minutes after my first encounter with Python, I had downloaded it, compiled it, and installed it on my SPAR...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...Python's interpreted nature was also a benefit: Code ideas can easily be tested in the Python interactive shell, and lack of a compilation phase makes for a shorter edit/test cycle. All of these factors combine to make Python a terrific alternative to C++ and Java as a general purpose programming language. ForecastWatch.com was made possible because of the ease of programming complex tasks in Python, and the rapid development that Python allows. About the Author Eric Floehr specializes in larg...

    ...Python 2.4 Highlights: Python 2.4 Here are the (subjective) highlights of what's new in Python 2.4. Faster A number of modules that were added in Python 2.3 (such as sets and heapq) have been recoded in C. In addition, there's been a number of other speedups to the interpreter. (See section 8.1, Optimizations, of the "What's New" document for more). New language features multi-line imports - when using imports in the form from foo import bar, baz, bing, bang, you can surround ...
