Goodger stated that sprints are more-or-less self-coordinating; just have them add to the wiki page. J. Hylton replied "As a former sprint coordinator, I'd say it would be good to have someone to actually coordinate, answer questions, etc." N. Norwitz noted that we don't have all keynote slots filled, and asked if he should tr...

I don't expect repr() to save a reference to your object, unless you implemented the object type yourself (then it could be a bug in your tp_repr or tp_str function). 3) Anyone else becoming _really_ interested in a bytecode-to-C translator (as discussed a while ago on the list) :) [Unfortunately, that's not going to help you as much as you'd like, because of Python's dynami...

    ...however, come at a significant price. A typical microcontroller has only a few hundred bytes of RAM, several K of ROM (to store the program) and orders of magnitude less processing capability than a conventional desktop microprocessor. Hardly an environment for running Python! There are projects to adapt Python for embedded applications, but they require significant resources on the microcontroller, and are still in the very early stages. Surprisingly, however, it turns out that standard Pyth...

    ...tors (__add__ and so on) cannot rely on the __coerce__ method to coerce the arguments; the other argument will be whatever was present originally. Thus, if x is a new-style class instance defining an __add__ method, x+1 causes a call to x.__add__(1). The method implementation will have to analyze the other argument's type in order to be able to implement the operation correctly. If the method implementation decides that it doesn't know how to implement the operation for this particular combin...

  • The Python 2.3 Method Resolution Order

    ...to the Python development mailing list [1]. In his post, Samuele showed that the Python 2.2 method resolution order is not monotonic and he proposed to replace it with the C3 method resolution order. Guido agreed with his arguments and therefore now Python 2.3 uses C3. The C3 method itself has nothing to do with Python, since it was invented by people working on Dylan and it is described in a paper intended for lispers [2]. The present paper gives a (hopefully) readable discussion of the C3 ...
