Compiler-SIG Compiler-SIG This SIG provides a forum for discussing compilation and program analysis issues. Unlike most SIGs, it does not have a specific mandate or deliverable. There are several independent projects to develop compilers, type checkers, and related tools. The CPython and JPython distributions also contain compilers, of course; future versions of these compilers will also be discussed on this sig. There will likely be some overlap between the types-sig and the co...
DO-SIG - Python Distributed Objects Special Interest Group Python Distributed Objects Special Interest Group This SIG provides a forum for discussion of issues concerning the use of Distributed Object technologies with Python. It is specifically charged with developing a CORBA binding for Python and submitting it to the OMG for standardisation. This specification has been adopted by OMG. Here are example topic issues. Subs...
Python Distributed Objects Special Interest Group Python Distributed Objects SIG Issues All aspects of distributed, object oriented programming in Python are able to be discussed. Examples could include design and development of the CORBA binding for Python the use of other Distributed Object systems with Python, including ILU, Distributed OLE, ABB's OMF, and others. Remote Method Invocation mechanism design and implementation Distri...
Python Getopt SIG Python Getopt SIG The purpose of this SIG was to come up with a new and improved library for command-line parsing in Python 2.3. Everybody seems to agree that the venerable getopt module just doesn't do enough. The trick is to find something that is sufficiently powerful and flexible without being too complex to use, especially for novice programmers. The SIG was kicked off shortly after David Goodger and Greg Ward (your humble narrator and champion of this SI...
Comparing Option-Parsing Libraries Comparing Option-Parsing Libraries NOTE: this page is present for historical purposes only. The getopt-sig is retired, and Optik was added to the Python standard library (as optparse) in Python 2.3. (It was checked in to Python's CVS tree in November 2002, and first released in July 2003.) Since I proposed Optik for the Python standard library, a number of other option-parsing libraries have come to light. I'm trying to evaluate them by ...
SIG on Graphical User Interfaces for Python SIG on Graphical User Interfaces for Python This sig has been retired. New postings to the mailing list will be rejected, but the archives of the old list are still available for perusal. See the SIGs home page for info about active and inactive lists. Over a dozen graphical user-interface Python modules have been developed. While this speaks to the power of Python's extension capabilities, there is significant interest in defi...
Python Locator Special Interest Group Python Locator SIG This sig has been retired. New postings to the mailing list will be rejected, but the archives of the old list are still available for perusal. See the SIGs home page for info about active and inactive lists. Further information: eGroups archives The old list mission statement The catalog-sig can be seen as a revival of the locator-sig.
SIG for Built-in Matrix Types in Python SIG for Built-in Matrix Types in Python This sig has been retired. The purpose of this SIG was to continue development of a Python matrix type. This effort succeeded and resulted in Numerical Python, a high-speed array language for Python. New postings to the Matrix-SIG mailing list will be rejected, but the Archives of the old list are still available for perusal by historians. Note that for technical questions, these archives are ...
SIG on Python bindings for Objective-C/NeXTSTEP/OpenStep SIG on Python bindings for Objective-C/NeXTSTEP/OpenStep This sig has been retired. New postings to the mailing list will be rejected, but the archives of the old list are still available for perusal. See the SIGs home page for info about active and inactive lists. The Python / Objective C connection lives on in the PyObjC project at SourceForge! The purpose of this SIG is to complete a Python extension module bi...
Objective-C SIG Status Objective-C SIG Status Lele Gaifax has recently posted a much improved module to provide Python bindings to the Objective-C runtime. Bill Bumgarner is archiving the latest releases, along with quad-fat binaries and other useful Objective-C/Python stuff. Bill's archive is available at ftp://ftp.thoughtport.net/pub/next/lang/
Parser-SIG - SIG on Parser Generation for Python This SIG was created to discuss and select a standard parser generator for Python; it has now been retired due to inactivity. The list of parser generators has moved to /topics/parsing.html.

Plot-SIG - SIG on Data Plotting Solutions for Python SIG on Data Plotting Solutions for Python This sig has been retired. New postings to the mailing list will be rejected, but the archives of the old list are still available for perusal. See the SIGs home page for info about active and inactive lists. The purpose of this list is to develop, coddle together, adopt or otherwise make available Python tools for plotting of scientific and business plots of dat...
Python Data Plotting Solutions SIG Issues Python Data Plotting Solutions SIG Issues Plotting needs vary greatly depending on each user's requirements; some users wish to see a better API between Python and existing plotting libraries or programs. Others would rather see a new framework which maximally leverages the OOP and dynamic strengths of Python, at the cost of reinventing a few wheels. Both strategies will be entertained by the SIG, with individual members contributing to...

This list's mission is to improve the status of threading in Python. Specifically: Python will have a sufficiently powerful threading interface ...
The Python type system SIG The Python type system SIG This list has been created for discussions on issues related to Python's type system. Recently, the types SIG has come under attack for inactivity, and in response Paul Prescod has offered to guide the SIG towards accomplishing a single specific goal: to develop an optional static typing system for Python. The December 1999 archives of the SIG show the discussion that lead to this decision. Resources The following resource...
