  Highlights: Python 2.4 Highlights: Python 2.4 Here are the (subjective) highlights of what's new in Python 2.4. Faster A number of modules that were added in Python 2.3 (such as sets and heapq) have been recoded in C. In addition, there's been a number of other speedups to the interpreter. (See section 8.1, Optimizations, of the "What's New" document for more). New language features multi-line imports - when using imports in the form from foo import bar, baz, bing, bang, you c...

• Comparing Option-Parsing Libraries

  Comparing Option-Parsing Libraries Comparing Option-Parsing Libraries NOTE: this page is present for historical purposes only. The getopt-sig is retired, and Optik was added to the Python standard library (as optparse) in Python 2.3. (It was checked in to Python's CVS tree in November 2002, and first released in July 2003.) Since I proposed Optik for the Python standard library, a number of other option-parsing libraries have come to light. I'm trying to evaluate them by ...

• Bugs in Python 2.3.5

  Bugs in Python 2.3.5 IDLE now executes code in a separate process. To communicate between the main process and executing processes, IDLE opens a socket to 127.0.0.1 (the local machine). Some firewalls running on Windows machines interfere with this and can cause either silent failures or erroneous popup windows from the firewall. This problem only occurs if you run a firewall on the same machine as IDLE. Build bugs Some platforms require some tinkering to get a clean build of Python. So...

  Highlights: Python 2.5 Highlights: Python 2.5 Here are some of the (subjective) highlights of Python 2.5. More detail on almost all of the new features can be found in the document What's New In Python 2.5 More Reliable Python now uses the Buildbot tool for continuous testing on a wide range of platforms. This allows us to spot problems faster during development, and resulted in a much more robust release. Andrew Kuchling determined that there were over 350 patches and over 450 bugs fixed ...

• Parade of the PEPs

  ...Sorting Dictionaries by Value - Griffin This is a small idea that's very important to its proposer, but that IMO attempts to solve a problem that is better solved in some other way, e.g. by teaching newbies the correct algorithm/idiom. I note that the PEP uses sloppy language, e.g. it talks about "sorting a dictionary" while the dictionary itself is never sorted -- the PEP only proposes methods that return the items or keys in sorted order. The PEP also suffers from lack of definiten...
