...python.org/psf/PSF%20Domains Progress The Gandi accounts were setup, access details sent to Kurt, Ewa, Noah. The ironpython.(net/com/org) domains were transferred to the PSF from Microsoft as first real-life test of the setup. I've registered the first batch of available "python" TLDs as discussed on the board list. These all redirect to python.org. Still pending is the registration of the python.china domain due to problems with the Chinese registry. I'm now busy with Kurt to ge...
...Python Job Board The Python Job Board is a free resource to help members of the Python community find paid work.

If this isn't the case, the submission will most likely be rejected. Unpaid volunteer positions will not be posted on the jobs page. If you have some Python-related volunteer post, please...
...started with Python. Fortunately an experienced programmer in any programming language (whatever it may be) can pick up Python very quickly. It's also easy for beginners to use and learn, so jump in! Installing Installing Python is generally easy, and nowadays many Linux and UNIX distributions include a recent Python. Even some Windows computers (notably those from HP) now come with Python already installed. If you do need to install Python and aren't confident about the task you can find a few...

...with an empty list of outgoing arcs, but sometimes it is more convenient not to require this. Note that while the user calls find_path() with three arguments, it calls itself with a fourth argument: the path that has already been traversed. The default value for this argument is the empty list, '[]', meaning no nodes have been traversed yet. This argument is used to avoid cycles (the first 'if' inside the 'for' loop). The 'path' argument is not modified: the assignment "path = path + ...
...with genuine attention to user experience. With more funding, we can finally make managing packages pleasant as programming in Python. Sumana Harihareswara, Changeset Consulting CPython Development I started using Python in my PhD for performing different simulations of rotating black holes, black hole jets and their properties. I quickly fell in love with the language and its community and that led me to become a core dev some years ago. Since I became a core dev I have worked towards making...

...Python memory allocators. A hook can inspect Python internals to retrieve Python tracebacks. The idea of getting the current traceback comes from the faulthandler module. The faulthandler dumps the traceback of all Python threads on a crash, here is the idea is to get the traceback of the current Python thread when a memory block is allocated by Python. This PEP proposes to add a new tracemalloc module, a debug tool to trace memory blocks allocated by Python. The module provides the following in...
