The object model of the configuration tool is visible to the user, displayed in a "Pilot-Window". The Pilot lets the user manipulate object data, and links between objects, by clicking on the respective item (see Figure A). This click opens an object editor for modification of attributes. The object editor is parameterized with the type of object in the model. The code for drawing th...

  ...Text messaging seemed to be the right way to go, because messages are easily received by any mobile phone. Most wireless providers maintain email to SMS gateways, and many off-the-shelf devices can generate email messages. I was only limited by the necessity of dial-up connectivity -- many locations containing monitored equipment proved impervious to wireless signals. After coming up with the basic idea to use text messages and selecting the components, I had to figure out how to make the indivi...

  ...text or automate miscellaneous tasks. I went to PyCon 2004, and was shocked by the number of interesting projects that were developed and maintained by lone developers or very small teams. I was particularly impressed by the demos and presentations given by the Twisted team. We briefly considered using J2EE, but felt that rapid development of our initial prototypes would be much faster in Python and Twisted. In the end, we estimate that it would have taken us at least twice as long for a solutio...

  ...text of the proposal: At the request of some supporters of other languages, I've withdrawn a language comparison chart that contained highly personal and sometimes unfounded opinions of other languages. The table was being used out of context in a way that some found objectionable. (Not all of the table is disputed, but it seems wiser not to engage in direct language comparisons without a lot more documentation.) I've also removed some administrative details from the text and made so...

  ...editor, fetchmailconf. The design objective of fetchmailconf was clear: to completely hide the control file syntax behind a fashionable, ergonomically correct GUI interface replete with selection buttons, slider bars and fill-out forms. The thought of implementing this in Perl did not thrill me. I had seen GUI code in Perl, and it was a spiky mixture of Perl and Tcl that looked even uglier than my own pure-Perl code. It was at this point I remembered the bit I had set more than six months earlie...

  ...textdomain_codeset() in gettext module. Introduced in gettext module the l*gettext() family of functions, which return translation strings encoded in the preferred encoding, as informed by locale module's getpreferredencoding(). optparse module (and tests) upgraded to Optik 1.5a1. Changes: Add expansion of default values in help text: the string "%default" in an option's help string is expanded to str() of that option's default value, or "none" if no default value. Bug #9...

The xml.sax.expatreader.ExpatParser class will no longer create circular references by using itself as the locator that gets passe...
