  • Python Tabular Databases SIG: Status

    Python Tabular Databases SIG: Status Python Tabular Databases SIG: Status April 7, 1999: Revision 2.0 of the Database API specification has been issued as PEP 249. Version 1.0 of the spec is still available as PEP 248, and the topic guide lists modules that comply with it. With the 2.0 revision of the spec completed, possible future directions and discussions may focus on refinements of the specification and implementations for new databases. Object-oriented databases (OOD...

  • Python Distutils-SIG: Introduction

    Python Distutils-SIG: Introduction Python Distutils-SIG: Introduction Charter The Distutils-SIG exists to discuss the design, implementation, and maintenance of a suite of module distribution utilities for Python. These utilities are grouped in the 'distutils' package in Python. The goal of distutils is to make building, packaging, distributing, and installing Python modules, extensions, and applications painless and standardized. There ...

  • Python Distutils-SIG: Design Proposal

    Python Distutils-SIG: Design Proposal Python Distutils-SIG (Prerequisites: please read the proposed interface before trying to plough through this design document; it is very much a sequel to the interface document.) Design Proposal The Distutils' point of view setup.py only has to import one module, distutils.core. This module is responsible for parsing all command-line arguments to setup.py (even though the interpretation of options is di...

  • Python Distutils-SIG: Documentation

    Python Distutils-SIG: Documentation Python Distutils-SIG: Documentation User Documents Two documents have been written to cover the Distutils, and are part of Python's standard documentation set: Installing Python Modules This is for end-users, system administrators, and Python programmers who need to install third-party modules to their existing Python installation. It focusses on using the Distutils, b...

  • Python Distutils-SIG: Proposed User Interface

    Python Distutils-SIG: Proposed User Interface Python Distutils-SIG Proposed User Interface In addition to identifying the common tasks and division of labour involved in developing, distributing, and installing Python modules, the "Extension Building Considered Painful" Developer's Day Session also came up with a proposed user interface. The core idea of the interface is that the module developer would provide a small Python script, called setup.py ...

  • Summary of "Extension Building" Session

    Summary of "Extension Building" Session "Extension Building Considered Painful": Session Summary by Greg Ward The "Extension Building Considered Painful" session at IPC7 was very productive, and there was a good consensus in the room as to what's needed, what will work for various classes of users, and what ideas to steal from other related systems (the closest being Red Hat's RPM and Perl's MakeMaker). Decisions made Everyone seemed to agree with my p...

  • Other Documentation Tools

    Other Documentation Tools Other Documentation Tools When considering the state of documentation tools for Python, one should consider what is being done for other systems. This should include tools that work with documentation embedded in source code and tools that work with separated documentation. If you can think of additional tools that should be noted, please let me know about them (free or commercial). If you can point to an example of the markup, that would be great; thank...

Emerging Products The Doc SIG members have produced some tools: Doug Hellmann has created HappyDoc, a tool for extracting documentation from Python source code. It differs from other such applications by the fact that it uses the parse tree for a module to...

  • Structured Text Formatting Rules

    Structured Text Formatting Rules Structured Text Formatting Rules For the gendoc processor we (Daniel and Robin) have decided on the following format rules for Python doc strings so that they may be marked up in a reasonable manner. People developing other automated tools may think about adopting this standard as well. Feel free to discuss this in the doc-sig list. By and large we have decided to use the Structured Text approach offered by ...

  • Python Internationalization-SIG

    Python Internationalization-SIG Internationalization-SIG ("i18n") This SIG provides a forum for discussing issues relating to the internationalization of Python. At the time of writing (March 2000), internationalization (henceforth spelled as "i18n" to save typing) features are being added to Python. This sig is the primary forum for discussing those features. Topics covered include but are not limited to: Unicode support and building a library of codecs Support for local...
