  • What's new in Python 1.5 and beyond

    ...package support is somewhat simpler (no __ and __domain__) and differs in one crucial aspect: __init__.py is required, and loaded in the package's namespace instead of as a submodule. For more information, see Built-in Package Support. The new "re" module (Perl style regular expressions) is here. It is based on Philip Hazel's pcre code; the Python interfaces were put together by Andrew Kuchling. The regex module is declared obsolete. In support of the re module, a new form of string...

  • Built-in Package Support in Python 1.5

    ...package (the package of which the current module is a submodule), the import statement looks for a top-level module with the given name. When packages are structured into subpackage (as with the Sound package in the example), there's no shortcut to refer to submodules of sibling packages - the full name of the subpackage must be used. For example, if the module Sound.Filters.vocoder needs to use the echo module in the Sound.Effects package, it can use from Sound.Effects import echo. ...

While we don't expect our students to write extension modules, the use of such modules makes it possible to spruce up their learning experience, and gives teachers an opportunity to tailor lessons to the interests of their students by providing them with guarded access to other software packages. (withdrawn) The fact that Python can be used to develop large applications plays into a different aspect of our vision: The development of open source application software ...

    ...package, the XPath parser is built using the BisonGen [Fou00] generator. Incorporating this implementation into PyXML proved to be quite challenging. A detailed description of BisonGen is given later; however, the following obstacles should serve as a motivation for developing yet another XPath parser: Building 4XPath requires a number of prerequisite packages, namely BisonGen, PyXML, bison, flex, SWIG, and a C compiler. The PyXML prerequisite in particular causes a cyclic...

  • Notes

    ...packagers were added to support pkgtool on Solaris and swinstall on HP-UX. distutils now has a new abstract binary packager base class command/bdist_packager, which simplifies writing packagers. This will hopefully provide the missing bits to encourage people to submit more packagers, e.g. for Debian, FreeBSD and other systems. The UTF-16, -LE and -BE stream readers now raise a NotImplementedError for all calls to .readline(). Previously, they used to just produce garbage or fail with an encod...
