  • Python 2.4.1 - Linux RPMs

    ...Python? A. The RPMs that start with "python2.4" are built to not interfere with the system Python. They install as "/usr/bin/python2.4" and will not conflict with the system Python unless you are running on a system that ships the a version of Python which has the same major/minor number. To invoke the interpreter with these packages, you will explicitly have to run "python2.4". Note that all Python RPMs provided by Python.org and Red Hat provide a "/usr/bin/...

  • What's new in Python 1.5 and beyond

    ...PYTHONHOME (see the usage message, e.g. try python -h). In most situations, the interpreter can be installed at an arbitrary location without having to recompile. The build process now builds a single library (libpython1.5.a) which contains everything except for the main() entry point. This makes life much easier for applications that embed Python. There is much better support for embedding, including threads, multiple interpreters(!), uninitialization, and access to the global interpreter loc...

Holden: "It seemed to me he [S. Michiels] made a reasonable case that Python is important in that area. How about you?" T. Peters: "Seems that Python is used in these apps in much the same way it's used in SciPy apps. That is, Python isn't the goal, it's part of the means. That's fine." RES...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...Python are many. Python is quite easily learned by people from various programming backgrounds, such as Java, C or Visual Basic. After becoming familiar with Python, development proceeds very quickly -- perhaps faster than with any other language. At the same time, Python lends itself to the creation of highly readable, compact and well structured code. Python's particular mix of features also helps embedded developers be more effective when programming a PC. While these developers are well f...
