PEP 329: Treating Builtins as Constants in the Standard Library

Comments are invited on a new pep:

http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0329.html

Based on feedback received so far, there were several changes to the
original draft:

* The module is public

* The module name reflects its nature as a bytecode hack

* There is a flag to disable binding

* Added summaries of how it works, when it is called, and the effect on
startup time (near zero).

* Included a reference to Jython FAQs supporting the means for
automatically doing nothing in environments without bytecodes.

Hi, If I have a large constants file and include that in a .cpp file will the executable become large? That is if I include a file with a bunch of constants does the executable include all of the constants or just the constants that are used in the .cpp file? I am wanting a way so that only the constants that are used are included in

Dear All, I am always confused in using constants in multiple files. For global constants, I got some clues from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/0d45ty2d(VS.80).aspx So in header file writing: const double PI = 3.14; Every time using it, include the header file.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

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,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
