...Python core development team moved to BeOpen.com to form the BeOpen PythonLabs team. In October of the same year, the PythonLabs team moved to Digital Creations (now Zope Corporation, see http://www.zope.com). In 2001, the Python Software Foundation (PSF, see http://www.python.org/psf/) was formed, a non-profit organization created specifically to own Python-related Intellectual Property. Zope Corporation is a sponsoring member of the PSF. All Python releases are Open Source (see ht...
...Python was a faster way to code (and re-code) the programs that controlled the production pipeline. Python Streamlines Production But Python was not designed just as a replacement for shell scripting and, as it turns out, Python enabled much more for ILM than just process control. Unlike Unix shell scripting, Python can be embedded whole as a scripting language within a larger software system. In this case, Python code can invoke specific functions of that system, even if those functions are w...
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 The language I chose for the code generators was, of course, Python. Its simplicity and power are perfect for the job of reading data files and producing code. To simplify the integration with the C++ code, the Python generators are inserted directly into the C++ file as comments. Cog reads a text file (C++ in our case), looking for specially-marked sections of text, that it will use as generators. It executes those sections as Python code, capturing the output. The output is then splice...
