  • Python Special Interest Groups

    Python Special Interest Groups About There are a number of Special Interest Groups (SIGs) for focused collaborative efforts to develop, improve, or maintain specific Python resources. Each SIG has a charter, a coordinator, a mailing list, and a directory on the Python website. SIG membership is informal, defined by subscription to the SIG's mailing list. Anyone can join a SIG, and participate in the development discussions via the SIG's mailing list. Below is the list of currently active ...

The SIG coordinator has remote control of them, with email and web-mediated administrative authority of the mailing list. Currently, SIG coordinators do not have direct acces...

  • SIG for development of Python/C++ integration

    SIG for development of Python/C++ integration SIG for development of Python/C++ integration The Python C++ SIG is a forum for discussions about the integration of Python and C++, with an emphasis on the development of the Boost.Python library. At the point of this writing (Jan 2002), Boost.Python is undergoing a major rewrite to add powerful new features and to take full advantage of the new type system introduced in Python 2.2. Suggestions regarding the direction of the develop...

  • Python Tabular Databases SIG: Status

    Python Tabular Databases SIG: Status Python Tabular Databases SIG: Status April 7, 1999: Revision 2.0 of the Database API specification has been issued as PEP 249. Version 1.0 of the spec is still available as PEP 248, and the topic guide lists modules that comply with it. With the 2.0 revision of the spec completed, possible future directions and discussions may focus on refinements of the specification and implementations for new databases. Object-oriented databases (OOD...

  • Python Distutils-SIG: Design Proposal

    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...

  • Summary of "Extension Building" Session

    Summary of "Extension Building" Session "Extension Building Considered Painful": Session Summary by Greg Ward The "Extension Building Considered Painful" session at IPC7 was very productive, and there was a good consensus in the room as to what's needed, what will work for various classes of users, and what ideas to steal from other related systems (the closest being Red Hat's RPM and Perl's MakeMaker). Decisions made Everyone seemed to agree with my p...

  • Structured Text Formatting Rules

    Structured Text Formatting Rules Structured Text Formatting Rules For the gendoc processor we (Daniel and Robin) have decided on the following format rules for Python doc strings so that they may be marked up in a reasonable manner. People developing other automated tools may think about adopting this standard as well. Feel free to discuss this in the doc-sig list. By and large we have decided to use the Structured Text approach offered by ...

  • EDU-SIG: Python in Education

    EDU-SIG: Python in Education EDU-SIG: Python in Education More and more, Python is making inroads at all levels in education. Python offers an interactive environment in which to explore procedural, functional and object oriented approaches to problem solving. Its high level data structures and clear syntax make it an ideal first language, while the large number of existing libraries make it suitable to tackle almost any programming tasks. Edu-sig, through its mailing list, provides an infor...

  • email package SIG

This SIG's mission is to define, implement, enhance, and maintain the email package for Python. Goals include: Improving the API Improving performance and usability Adding support for additional email RFCs Several versions of the email package are available, and may be included with your Python distribution. All are also available as distutils-based standalone pac...

  • Python Internationalization-SIG

    Python Internationalization-SIG Internationalization-SIG ("i18n") This SIG provides a forum for discussing issues relating to the internationalization of Python. At the time of writing (March 2000), internationalization (henceforth spelled as "i18n" to save typing) features are being added to Python. This sig is the primary forum for discussing those features. Topics covered include but are not limited to: Unicode support and building a library of codecs Support for local...

    t1python - A Type1 Font Renderer for Python t1python - A Type1 Font Renderer for Python This interface to a Type1 font rendering engine allows Python programs access to a large number of fonts which have not been so readily usable before. The interface provides access to the "t1lib" library by Rainer Menzner. The rasterizer is based on the work which IBM contributed to the X Consortium for inclusion in the X11 distribution. More informa...

  • Import Sig

  • SIG for Ultra Large-Scale Systems

    SIG for Ultra Large-Scale Systems This special interest group (SIG) exists in order to discuss the emerging field of computing in the context of ultra large-scale systems and how such systems relate to or can be built with Python. The term "Ultra Large-Scale Systems" comes out of the research that was done in 2005-2006 by the Carnegie Mellon Software Engineering Institute's ULS Systems team. It entails the "creation" of systems of the next 10-20 years (and possibly beyond),...

  • Web SIG

    Web SIG The Python Web SIG is dedicated to improving Python's support for interacting with World Wide Web services and clients. Charter The first task should be to create a plan (in the form of a PEP) for bringing the Web support in the standard Python library up to modern standards. This would address capabilities such as (but not limited to) CSS parsing, XHTML parsing and generation support, client-side and server-side SSL support, simple server frameworks, multi-part/form-data POST suppor...

  • Python Special Interest Groups - Guidelines

    Python Special Interest Groups - Guidelines Python SIG Creation Guidelines The guidelines for creation of new SIGs are rather informal, but a few key things are necessary. First we outline the general framework of the SIGs and then we describe what you have to do if you want us to create a new SIG. The SIG mailing lists are managed by GNU Mailman, a web-based interface for mailing lists written in Python. Un/subscription requests, archiving of messages, etc. all happen automatically, without...
