From: claird@Starbase.NeoSoft.COM (Cameron Laird) Subject: README: Python-URL! - the weekly guide to Python resources (Oct 26) Date: Mon, 26 Oct 98 23:10:05 GMT Keep an eye on comp.lang.python.announce for the riches that appear there. Jim Hugunin exemplifies his commitment to the co-operation of [CJ]Python not merely by documenting differences (having to do with slices, in the current case), but by putting in place mechanisms to encourage others to do the same http://www.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=402854544 Amos Latteier anticipates release of a pure-Bobo concurrent web publishing solution http://www.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=402626399 Implementation may be brief, but documentation is certainly hard. Without apology to Baudelaire or the other luminaries credited with that maxim, Guido van Rossum illustrates its constraint of maintenance management http://www.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=402816730 Later in the same thread, he realizes he's created a useful idiom for structuring docstrings that feeds into embedding XML, POD, and so on http://www.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=402832702 Not content with these advances, the mob relocates itself to a long, unexcerptable (that is, worth reading on your own) thread rooted by Jeff Blaine's frenzy http://www.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=402955219 Richard Jones introduces Python CGI to those who natively speak Perl http://www.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=403757289 While there are many ways to supply a default value for a keyword argument, one is best http://www.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=403225906 See other parts of this thread for generalizations into enumerations, kjBuckets, and so on Do you know about NumPy's "three-argument forms of the binary operators"? Konrad Hinsen shows their utility in reducing memory requirements in extreme situations http://www.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=402740141 Andreas Jung multithreads FastCGI http://saarland.sz-sb.de/~ajung/sz_fcgi/ Tim Peters does surgery on a distant compiler in the dark using rusty kitchen utensils. When the patient gets up and walks away in the middle of the procedure, Tim rescues the scene with sage counsel on customer support practices. While of vanishing value in construction of Python solutions, it's rollicking good fun to be a spectator http://www.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=401978703 Color management seems to be more about data than algorithms http://www.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=403934471 Everything you want is probably one or two clicks away in these pages: Python.org's Python Language Website is the center of Pythonia http://www.python.org Much of Python's real work takes place on Special-Interest Group mailing lists http://www.python.org/sigs/ Python Consortium emerges as an independent nexus of activity http://www.python.org/consortium Python To-Do List aims to anticipate some of Python's future direction http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/todo.py Python Journal is at work on its second issue http://www.pythonjournal.com Links2Go is a new semi-automated link collection; it's impressive what AI can generate http://www.links2go.com/search?search=python Previous - (U)se the (R)esource, (L)uke! - messages are listed here: http://purl.org/thecliff/python/url.html or http://www.dejanews.com/dnquery.xp?QRY=~g%20comp.lang.python%20Python-URL%21 or http://www.altavista.digital.com/cgi-bin/query?pg=q&what=news& text=yes&q=%2B%22comp.lang.python%22+%2B%22Python-URL%21%22&search=Search or http://www.reference.com/cgi-bin/pn/go.py?search=advanced& querytext=&choice=Search&subj=Python-URL&name=&login=&host=& organization=&groups=&startmonth=May&startday=9&startyear= 1998&endmonth=Dec&endday=19&endyear=1998&verbosity=Terse& ranking=Relevance&choice=Search Suggestions/corrections for next week's posting are always welcome.
