QOTW: "Python may be one of the simplest and most flexible programming
languages out there, but it is still a programming language. It still has
syntax, datatypes, and the occasional dark corner inhabited by sorcerers
named Tim." Mark Lutz

"I think PyChecker ( http://pychecker.sf.net/ ) should be mentioned in
every beginner tutorial, and should be integrated with every Python IDE.
Before you type anything, type 'import pychecker.check er'." DH
In principle, comp.lang.pytho n.announce announces all the great
Python-related software that's available. Much never appears
there, though. Among the jewels of the last fortnight: Python
wrappers for the GNU Scientific Library and NOAA cartographic
toos, a pure Python DHCP server, an XHTML generator, and far too
much more ...

on The Semantic Web.

Hi, When I tryed to compile a python module using distutils under windows, and there is an error message if we do not have Microsoft Visual C++ 6 installed.

Python does not play well with others

by: John Nagle | last post by:

The major complaint I have about Python is that the packages which connect it to other software components all seem to have serious problems. As long as you don't need to talk to anything outside the Python world, you're fine. But once you do, things go downhill. MySQLdb has version and platform compatibility problems. So does M2Crypto. The built-in SSL support is weak. Even basic sockets don't quite work right; the socket module...

Pep 3105: the end of print?

by: Edward K Ream | last post by:

The pros and cons of making 'print' a function in Python 3.x are well discussed at: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2005-September/056154.html Alas, it appears that the effect of this pep would be to make it impossible to use the name 'print' in a backward compatible manner. Indeed, if a program is to compile in both Python 2.x and Python 3.x, the print function (or the print statement with parentheses) can not use the...

Pure Python Salsa20 Stream Cipher Implementation

by: betabrain.honshu | last post by:

Hi Folks, for those of you who are familiar with the micropledge.com project, here is a good opportunity to spend or earn something: http://micropledge.com/projects/pysalsa20 I know that the details of this project are still a bit unclear, but that is something we could discuss. By the way, the end result should look like it's a part of the python standard library (naming conventions, etc.) and of course it will be open source.

Python Memory Manager

by: Pie Squared | last post by:

I've been looking at the Python source code recently, more specifically trying to figure out how it's garbage collector works. I've gathered that it uses refcounting as well as some cycle-detection algorithms, but I haven't been able to figure out some other things. Does Python actually have a single 'heap' where all the data is stored? Because PyObject_HEAD seemed to imply to me it was just a linked list of objects, although perhaps I...

Problem With Comparison Operator <=> in G++

by: Oralloy | last post by:

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

by: Hystou | last post by:

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
