    ...format, and event storage technology. Python Comes to the Scene The challenge we faced was to extract the events from each legacy system, transform them to a common format and send them to the OVO manager. For this, we felt we needed a powerful scripting language for the OVO agents on the legacy platforms, one that would facilitate easy deployment and debugging of the scripts there. Another requirement was that event processing needed to be easily configurable and extensible. Neither the custo...

  • Python Patterns - Implementing Graphs

    ...formation, such as city names). Let's write a simple function to determine a path between two nodes. It takes a graph and the start and end nodes as arguments. It will return a list of nodes (including the start and end nodes) comprising the path. When no path can be found, it returns None. The same node will not occur more than once on the path returned (i.e. it won't contain cycles). The algorithm uses an important technique called backtracking: it tries each possibility in turn ...

    ...function is new. For bit-for-bit compatibility with prior releases, use the whseed function instead. The new seed function addresses two problems: (1) The old function couldn't produce more than about 2**24 distinct internal states; the new one about 2**45 (the best that can be done in the Wichmann-Hill generator). (2) The old function sometimes produced identical internal states when passed distinct integers, and there was no simple way to predict when that would happen; the new one guarant...

Contrary to other trajectory file formats, MMTK's netCDF files are both binary (and thus compact) files and portable between platforms. and moreover permit efficient access to nearly arbitrary subsets.

Algorithms, energy terms, and specializations of the data types can...

There are also many different operations you might want to perform on sound data (e.g. mixing, adding echo, applying an equalizer function, creating an artificial stereo effect), so in addition you will be writing a never-ending stream of modules to perform these operations. Here's a possible st...

Greg Ward's "distutils" package is included: this will make installing, building and distributing third party packages much simpler. There's now special syntax that you can use instead of the apply() function. f(*args, **kwds) is equivalent to apply(f, args, kwds). You can also use variations f(a1, a2, *args, **kwds) and you can leave one or...

This higher level API implements the business logic for specific applications, such as contact management or trouble ticket handling. It als...
