[1] Guido van Rossum (Google) is the inventor of Python and has managed
its growth and development for more than a decade. Guido was
awarded the Free Software Foundation Award in 2002 and Dr.Dobb's
1999 Excellence in Programming Award. Guido works at Google and
spends half of his time on Python.

[2] Jim Hugunin (Microsoft) is the creator of numerous innovations that
take Python into new application domains. Jim's most recent project,
IronPython integrates Python into Microsoft's .NET runtime. Jim's
previous project, Jython is Python for the Java runtime and was the
second production-quality implementation of Python. Before that,
Jim's Numeric Python adapted Python to the needs of number crunching
applications. Jim works at Microsoft adapting the .NET runtime to
the needs of dynamic languages like Python.

[3] Ian Cavén is the primary developer of the Lowry Digital Images
motion picture restoration system. This Python and Zope-based system
has been used to restore over 150 motion pictures. Highlights
include Citizen Kane, Sunset Boulevard and both the Indiana Jones
and Star Wars trilogies. While Ian was Chief Scientist at Lowry
Digital, his rack of computers grew from a few Macintoshes on his
desktop to over six hundred Macintosh and Linux servers - at
one point earning Lowry the title as the second biggest installation
of parallel processing Maintoshes in the world. In 2005, Lowry
Digital Images was acquired by DTS (the famous movie audio company)
and renamed DTS Digital Images. The motion picture restoration
system has been discussed in publications as diverse as IEEE
Spectrum, USA Today, the BBC NEWS, the New York Times and Apple.com.
Ian has been a Python enthusiast since 1999.

How to schedule script without cron?

by: deko | last post by:

Is there a way to get my script to run on regularly scheduled intervals without using cron? My hosting provider sucks... cannot use cron... I was thinking perhaps I could create a file every hour in a certain directory and then fire the script when the file count reaches a certain number, and then clear out the directory... or something like that. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Reasons for a 3-tier achitecture for Web? Why

Reasons for a 3-tier achitecture for the WEB? (NOTE: I said, WEB, NOT WINDOWS. DON'T shoot your mouth off if you don't understand the difference.) I hear only one reason and that's to switch a database from SQL Server to Oracle or DB2 or vice versa... and that's it.... And a lot of these enterprises don't need it as they already know what database they are going to use and they don't plan on switching in and out database in the first...

Janus schedule control print question.

I am currently working on a C# project that uses the Janus schedule controls, and am having trouble getting it to print correctly in Day view. The problem is that it will not print out the owners of the appointments unless I set the ShowAllDayArea parameter to true.

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,...
