Python - ubuntu

Hy folks

A friend of mine told me something about Guido and google developing
an Ubuntu distribution based and totaly oriented for the Python
appliction development. I googled for it with no results. Is it
possible that My Buddy is trying to foole me or is it possible that
someone knows something about that.

not sure about a version tuned for python, but wikipedia claims that
there's a custom packaging used internally:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goobuntu

maybe he's mixing that one up with this one:

In addition to Fredrick's reply: Canonical, the company that develops
Ubuntu, uses Python *extensively* for their development, so when it comes
to the number of Python modules assembled as packages for a package manager
(apt, in the case of Ubuntu), Ubuntu will probably have the most. I use
Ubuntu for Python development, and find it very well suited.

It's worth noting that Ubuntu's creator is a fan of python.
So it comes as no surprise that the distribution has a lot of
components written in this language.
Also, and as far as I know, the use of python is encouraged for making
contributions.

Apologies if this isn't news here - I've been too busy this last week or so for even skimming the traffic here, in part because I've been messing around with Ubuntu's preview release on a spare machine... and, of course, spending time on their very busy mailing list. :-) I didn't find any mention of Ubuntu in a quick scan of recent messages, so... Ubuntu is a Linux distribution that starts with the breadth of Debian and adds regular...

I have just discovered the existance of Puppy Linux which is a complete operating system with a suite of GUI apps, only about 50 - 60M booting directly off the CDROM ( http://www.puppylinux.org ). This approach appears to me very Pythonic, so it were a nice thing to have a full featured Puppy Linux Live CD prepared for Python programming. Have someone already breed a Python Puppy and is so kind to share a copy of it with me?

I'm not sure if this belongs here or in the apache area, but any help would be appreciated. I developed a web survey in python cgi on my home computer using Apache2Triad, and it works. I tried just loading it on to the Ubuntu machine it will be running on, and it looks like mod_python is handling all the .py files. Basically, I don't want to have to rewrite it all the mod_python way, so I was wondering how I can reconfigure it to just use the...

Is there an easy scientific graphics (plotting) package for Python 2.5.1 running on Ubuntu Linux 7.1 ("Gutsy Gibbon")? A few years ago I used PyLab (a MatLab-like plotting module for Python) on a Windows machine, but I don't know if there is a similar easy-to-install-and-use Python 2.5.1-compatible graphics package for Ubuntu Linux 7.1? Thanks for any suggestions.

I have noticed that the python-mode for Emacs that comes with the latest Ubuntu is missing the class browser. Moreover if works differently from the python-mode I was used to (for instance CTRL-c-c works as CTRL-c-! whereas CTRL-c-! is missing, etc). How can I go back to the old python-mode or at least how do I get back the class browser? Michele Simionato

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.
