    ...interface on all systems, where previously users had to work with the different interfaces presented directly by each tool. In many cases, control of the robot loader and unloader for the tool. In the early 1990's architecture of the tool workstation software, it was broken up into a number of discrete components: The user interface, the SECS communication modules, the data collection interface, and so forth. The activities of each of these components were coordinated by a sequencing engine in ...

    ...interface is rendered as HTML using the SimpleTAL template library. The administrative interface to the site is written using the Quixote Web application framework, and employs mod_scgi behind Apache 2. This interface provides the site administrators access to all of the functions they need to interact with user's profiles, process log files to provide reports about site activity and issues, and update site content. Quixote and mod_scgi have performed extremely well in this application, and plan...

  • Comparing Python to Other Languages

    ...declarations for a and b, and does not allow overloading of the + operator for instances of user-defined classes. For these reasons, Python is much better suited as a "glue" language, while Java is better characterized as a low-level implementation language. In fact, the two together make an excellent combination. Components can be developed in Java and combined to form applications in Python; Python can also be used to prototype components until their design can be "hardened" in a Java...

    ...interfaces were put together by Andrew Kuchling. The regex module is declared obsolete. In support of the re module, a new form of string literals is introduced, "raw strings": e.g. r"n" is equal to "\n". All standard exceptions and most exceptions defined in standard extension modules are now classes. Use python -X to revert back to string exceptions. See Standard Exception Classes for more info. Comparisons can now raise exceptions (previously, exceptions occur...

    ...interface is simply a set of directional cursors (near center) Zoom in Choosing Python I had used Python for small scripting projects before, and liked its quick-off-the-blocks feel. It would provide me with a malleable environment in which to experiment with features, to see what Nat would find interesting. Although this was an at-home project to be used only by my son, it shared issues with larger, supposedly more serious projects: unclear requirements, unpredictable customers, and limited...

    Towards a Standard Parser Generator Towards a Standard Parser Generator Martin v. Löwis Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin Institut für Informatik loewis@informatik.hu-berlin.de Abstract Developing parsers for "little" languages is a common task for many software developers. People have frequently requested inclusion of a specific parser generator framework into the Python library. In this paper, we compare several Python parser generators, using the XPath langua...

    ...interface nicer. Add "import thread" to the top of test modules that import the threading module (test_asynchat and test_threadedtempfile). This prevents test failures caused by a broken threading module resulting from a previously caught failed import. Changed test_asynchat.py to set the SO_REUSEADDR option; this was needed on some platforms (e.g. Solaris 8) when the tests are run twice in succession. Skip rather than fail test_sunaudiodev if no audio device is found. What's New i...
