  • Standard Exception Classes in Python 1.5

    ...makes a difference because there's a difference between f(a, b) and f((a, b)). These are all compromises - they work well with the kind of arguments that the standard exceptions typically take (like a simple string).

  • Python 1.6

    ...make installing, building and distributing third party packages much simpler. There's now special syntax that you can use instead of the apply() function. f(*args, **kwds) is equivalent to apply(f, args, kwds). You can also use variations f(a1, a2, *args, **kwds) and you can leave one or the other out: f(*args), f(**kwds). The built-ins int() and long() take an optional second argument to indicate the conversion base -- of course only if the first argument is a string. This makes ...

The offending bottleneck can often be refactored for performance, or alternatively, rewritten in another language. (C for CPython, or any .NET language for IronPython.) Secondly, benchmarks give an overly pessimistic view of dynamic language performance. In significant real-world applica...
