    ...what my friend needed the function for. But what if it were applied to a list of two thousand characters? We'd be concatenating longer and longer strings, one character at a time. It is easy to see that, apart from overhead, to create a list of length N in this way, there are 1 + 2 + 3 + ... + (N-1) characters to be copied in total, or N*(N-1)/2, or 0.5*N**2 - 0.5*N. In addition to this, there are N string allocation operations, but for sufficiently large N, the term containing N**2 ...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...what Nat would find interesting. Although this was an at-home project to be used only by my son, it shared issues with larger, supposedly more serious projects: unclear requirements, unpredictable customers, and limited developer resources. The most important concern to me in choosing the development tools was my productivity. Since this was "after-hours" work, my time and attention would be stretched thin, and I wanted to be able to focus on the user experience, not build environme...

  • Parade of the PEPs

    ...what he's waiting for. PEP 269 - Pgen Module for Python - Riehl I know Martin von Loewis doesn't like this (on account of its lack of generality, e.g. there's no way to change the lexer beyond defining the set of reserved words), but I think it might be somewhat useful for people experimenting with Python-like languages (e.g. Python preprocessors that add new keywords and syntax). Since pgen is pretty tightly bound to the Python distribution, it makes sense that an extension makin...

    ...what the requirements are, converging on a design for the data schema, and producing an implementation. ("Implementation" will almost certainly include mean a set of CGI scripts for browsing the catalog, and may also contain a standard library module for automatically fetching and installing modules, if the SIG decides that's a worthwhile feature.) The catalog became the Python Package Index. Because developing the catalog is closely intertwined with the Distutils and other packagi...
