their results.

I would like to say a few (actually more than a few) words here about some recent discoveries I have made concerning the interaction of Leo and Python. If you don't want to hear an inventor enthuse about his work, please feel free not to read further :-) There are at least three, no four, no five, no six, no seven reasons why Leo and Python work so well together. Most are new (in my mind) with the 4.1 release of Leo. The first several...

When you run "python -i scriptname.py" after the script completes you left at the interactive command prompt. Is there a way to have this occur from a running program? In other words can I just run scriptname.py (NOT python -i scriptname.py) and inside of scriptname.py I decide that I want to fall back to the interactive prompt? I've searched and so far the only thing I've come up with is to use pdb, but

Hi all, I've got an application that I'm writing that autogenerates python code which I then execute with exec(). I know that this is not the best way to run things, and I'm not 100% sure as to what I really should do. I've had a look through Programming Python and the Python Cookbook, which have given me ideas, but nothing has gelled yet, so I thought I'd put the question to the community. But first, let me be a little more detailed...

I'm starting a project in data mining, and I'm considering Python and Java as possible platforms. I'm conserned by performance. Most benchmarks report that Java is about 10-15 times faster than Python, and my own experiments confirms this. I could imagine this to become a problem for very large datasets. How good is the integration with MySQL in Python?

Had a unsettling conversation with a CS instructor that teaches at local high schools and the community college. This person is a long-term Linux/C/Python programmer, but he claims that the install, config, and library models for C# have proved to be less problematic than Python. So both his courses (intro, data structs, algorithms) are taught in C#. I am a low-end (3-year) journeyman Pythonista, and I was attracted to the language...

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.

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...
