  • PEP 324 -- subprocess - New process module

    ...Python. Good support for this task is needed, because: Inappropriate functions for starting processes could mean a security risk: If the program is started through the shell, and the arguments contain shell meta characters, the result can be disastrous. [1] It makes Python an even better replacement language for over-complicated shell scripts. Currently, Python has a large number of different functions for process creation. This makes it hard for developers to choose. The subprocess module pr...

  • PEP 236 -- Back to the __future__

    ...Shells There are two ways to get an interactive shell: By invoking Python from a command line without a script argument. By invoking Python from a command line with the -i switch and with a script argument. An interactive shell can be seen as an extreme case of runtime compilation (see above): in effect, each statement typed at an interactive shell prompt runs a new instance of exec, compile() or execfile(). A future_statement typed at an interactive shell applies to the rest of the shell se...

Superior to the default Python shell, IPython provides power object introspection features, easy access to operating system commands and text editor integration.

  • Python Success Stories

    ...Python was a faster way to code (and re-code) the programs that controlled the production pipeline. Python Streamlines Production But Python was not designed just as a replacement for shell scripting and, as it turns out, Python enabled much more for ILM than just process control. Unlike Unix shell scripting, Python can be embedded whole as a scripting language within a larger software system. In this case, Python code can invoke specific functions of that system, even if those functions are w...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...Python The language I chose for the code generators was, of course, Python. Its simplicity and power are perfect for the job of reading data files and producing code. To simplify the integration with the C++ code, the Python generators are inserted directly into the C++ file as comments. Cog reads a text file (C++ in our case), looking for specially-marked sections of text, that it will use as generators. It executes those sections as Python code, capturing the output. The output is then splice...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...Python appeared to offer the prospect of having both clarity and productivity at the same time. And if we ever needed to make use of Java's class libraries there was always Jython, an implementation of Python for the JVM. The increasing number of Python books being published testified to the language's growing popularity, and the number of available libraries was beginning to rival Perl's. This convinced me to give Python a try. Python Finds a Home Soon thereafter, I introduced Python to my fe...
