I documented the regex internal implementation code for both Tcl and Python.
As much as I like Tcl, I like Python's code much more.
Tcl's Stub interface to the external commands is confusing to
outsider. I still don't get why the stub interface is needed.
One aspect I don't understanding about python is that the Python

Simple. Let's create an example.
If you don't use it, than you have to link your extension against the
current version of Tcl, say, tcl84.lib. Easy, no problem.
But tomorrow Tcl 8.5 comes out and you have the problem, that
tcl85.dll is running (used by tclsh or wish) and your extension needs
tcl84.dll, since (during its linking) you created an un-breakable
connection between the two.
Solutions:
- Stick with the older version of Tcl.
- Re-compile the extension now linking against Tcl85.lib (and repeat
for Tcl 8.6, 8.7, etc.)
- Don't link against Tcl8.x lib but use the 'stub interface'. This
avoids creating this fixed connection between your extension and a
particular version of Tcl, and you can use the extension with any
future version of Tcl and be happy ever after (unless the stub
interface itself changes, but this will be in a completely different
time frame- if it should ever happen at all).
One aspect I don't understanding about python is that the Python
language itself is object oriented and all the internal is implement
as C object. Why not C++ object?
Just my 0.02: I suppose that C++ compilers still differ a lot more on
different platforms (concerning their conformance to the standard)
than C compilers do. So, if portability is high on your check list, C
still is the language of choice - but in the future C++ will catch up
(IMHO).

the posts are examples of use of their software and really not python
specific. But if they wrote it in python, it'd likely be more cross

Using an OO language doesn't necessarily make implementing another
OO language any easier, when the object models are mismatched (and
they almost invariably are). Look at other opensource OO languages,
such as Ruby, and you'll see they also use C, not C++.
Actually, a small and carefully selected subset of C++ might surely help,
_if_ there was consensus on what that subset should be and net of
the work of hashing that consensus out. But C++ just isn't very much
in the opensource culture -- C is just much more popular. Eric Raymond's
book "The Art of Unix Programming" doesn't address the issue directly but
much of what it says about "Unix culture" extends directly to opensource
(as he notes, too). There are such values as an admiration for simplicity
(cfr. C's principle, as per the Rationale of the C Standard, "provide only
one way to perform an operation", and Python's corresponding "there ought
to be one, and preferably only one, obvious way to do it") which militate in
favour of C (which may not have reached simplicity everywhere but surely
did and does always strive for it) and against C++ (which never gave
language-simplicity a high priority level among its many design goals); even
in subcultures that overtly reject such principles (e.g., Perl's) they may
still have some subconscious-level effect.
I used to bemoan this back when I was a C++ not-quite-but-close-guru.
3 years later, with little use of C++ in the meantime, I have forgotten more
about C++ than most of it practitioners will ever learn... but C is just
never forgotten, like how to swim or how to ride a bicycle. So, I am not
any longer so sure if my "bemoaning" was warranted.

Using RAII to automate reference count management would certainly help in
implementing Python, even if it is a feature that Python itself doesn't
have.

Hello Alex,
you may find this rather unusual but I wanted to say that
I often read your postings in c.l.python in admiration.
They usually are very instructive, explanatory, and contain
a lot of knowledge about Python and things related. A lot can
be learned from them indeed. I sometimes wonder how you find
the time to write so many in c.l.p (and usually quite long
and detailed too)...
But also am I yealous of the quality of the language used
in them... Though I'm not a native English speaker (like you,
right?) I think I master the language fairly well, but
not nearly as well as you ;-)
Just wondering and wanted to let you know.
Regards,
Irmen de Jong.

Sorry about that.
Will work on that. Here's the reason why we need the cookie at
this point.
The SDoc is a web document (like blogging ) where any number
of users (current we have ~800 users at our website) can write and
read
any topics in the document. The topics are organized like
a directory tree. Each users can collaps and expand his/her owner
topics without changing the view of other users.
For example, we have a lots internal webbase document with
thousand of topics.
But at any this moment for the TCL document, I really
only care about regex but not the network subtree. My current view
have the network part is collaps state and the regular expression is
is full expand state.
We use cookie to keep track of each topics state in every document
for every user not to keep track of what they view but to help
minimize
the overload of information when the topic tree is shown.
I really didn't want to implement that features with cookie initially,
but I had tough time finding other "right" method to do it. Now I
believe
we can implement it with the embedded the user id as part of URL or
?uid=12345 append at the end of every URL.
This will allows user who turn off cookie to browse the page. But if
the
reason for turnning off the cookie is so the website can't track you.
It doesn't really solve the problem.
Either way, any dynamically generated webpage can still track you with
the id embedded into the URL in every reponse even when you turn off
the cookie.
BTW, I see a lot of more other info from the weblog that is far more
interesting than cookies. Cookie are kind boring from analyzing the
webtraffic point of view.
Sorry again for the "obstacles" .
:-)

Helmut, Thanks for the 0.02. :-)
The "normal" os's dll, .so system use dlsym() call to resolve the
function "string_nam e" to function pointers. They seems to work for
upward compatibilities for most of the cases.
But I kind understand the argument from the statics link library
point of view, just think the price is too high for
such "features". I guess the TCL original goal was also to support
Win16, DOS, etc.
For example, here's the python's code for regexp methods functions
pointers.
They are cleaner more modular than the TCL's stub table. (My 0.005) http://www.slink-software.com/W/SL_T...5/LN_635#L_632
