    ...compilation and program analysis issues. Unlike most SIGs, it does not have a specific mandate or deliverable. There are several independent projects to develop compilers, type checkers, and related tools. The CPython and JPython distributions also contain compilers, of course; future versions of these compilers will also be discussed on this sig. There will likely be some overlap between the types-sig and the compiler-sig: The compiler will be responsible for implementing the type...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...compilation of the language itself required cross-compilation. Rewriting the Lua Layouts Once the Python-based implementation of the GUI layout tools was complete, it became necessary to rewrite the existing Lua layouts using Python. Our layout coders embraced Python with open arms because it solved all the problems they had been having with Lua, and it made new code easier to write because of Python's straightforward syntax and extensive standard libraries. In this transition, we found that P...

Python plays well with others Python can integrate with COM, .NET, and CORBA objects. For Java libraries, use Jython, an implementation of Python for the Java Virtual Machine. For .NET, try IronPython , Microsoft's new implementation of Python for .NET, or Python for .NET. Python is also supported for the Internet Communications Engine (ICE) and many...

  • Python Success Stories

    Python Success Stories Background The Molecular Modeling Toolkit (MMTK) is a open source Python library for molecular modeling and simulation with a focus on biomolecular systems, written in a mixture of Python and C. It provides standard techniques such as Molecular Dynamics or normal mode calculations in a ready-to-use form, but also provides a basis of low-level operations on top of which new techniques can easily be implemented. I started developing MMTK in 1996. I had some experience wit...

    Notes Python 2.1.3 Release Notes Release date: 08-April-2002 What's new in Python 2.1.3 (final)? Core Fixed two bugs reported as SF #535905: under certain conditions, deallocating a deeply nested structure could cause a segfault in the garbage collector, due to interaction with the "trashcan" code; access to the current frame during destruction of a local variable could access a pointer to freed memory. SF #457466: popenx() argument mangling hangs python (win9x only). Under certa...

  • Download Python Sources

    Download Python Sources For most Unix systems, you must download and compile the source code (see the latest releases). The same source code archive can also be used to build the Windows and Mac versions, and is the starting point for ports to all other platforms. You can browse the sources online through the repository viewer. If you want to help with the Python Project, see the Python Developer's Guide.

    Python Distutils-SIG: Proposed User Interface Python Distutils-SIG Proposed User Interface In addition to identifying the common tasks and division of labour involved in developing, distributing, and installing Python modules, the "Extension Building Considered Painful" Developer's Day Session also came up with a proposed user interface. The core idea of the interface is that the module developer would provide a small Python script, called setup.py ...

  • Ancient Releases

    Ancient Releases Andrew Dalke was clever and persistent enough to scrape Python 0.9.1 out of the Usenet alt.sources archives and assemble a compressed tarball. It's here mostly as a historical relic. If you want a compiled binary (on Linux) you can install it with conda (ideally in its own conda environment): conda install -c davidmertz python=0.9 Skip Montanaro has created a GitHub repository of Python 0.9.1 source.

  • Highlights: Python 2.5

    Highlights: Python 2.5 Highlights: Python 2.5 Here are some of the (subjective) highlights of Python 2.5. More detail on almost all of the new features can be found in the document What's New In Python 2.5 More Reliable Python now uses the Buildbot tool for continuous testing on a wide range of platforms. This allows us to spot problems faster during development, and resulted in a much more robust release. Andrew Kuchling determined that there were over 350 patches and over 450 bugs fixed ...

  • What is Python? Executive Summary

    ...compilation step, the edit-test-debug cycle is incredibly fast. Debugging Python programs is easy: a bug or bad input will never cause a segmentation fault. Instead, when the interpreter discovers an error, it raises an exception. When the program doesn't catch the exception, the interpreter prints a stack trace. A source level debugger allows inspection of local and global variables, evaluation of arbitrary expressions, setting breakpoints, stepping through the code a line at a time, ...
