From: "Gordon McMillan" <gmcm@hypernet.com> Subject: Dr. Dobb's Python-URL! - weekly Python news and links (Nov 23) Date: 23 Nov 1999 08:07:12 -0600 It's been a relatively quiet week on Pythondom. Those of us in the States, of course, are mentally preparing ourselves for an onslaught of fowl, football and the imminent arise of Christmas decorations. We have an announcement from Ben Gertzfield of CDDB.py, a program to fetch information about CD audio tracks online (Linux only; GPL'd). http://www.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=551850359 The main emphasis this week seems to be on Python internals, object models and parse trees, oh my. One thread has Greg Ewing continuing his exploration of Ruby's internals (and contrasting them with Python). This week it's object models: http://www.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=549499675 http://www.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=551536349 John Skaller talks about the same subject, showing how Viper (his pre-release Python-like language) deals with the same issues: http://www.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=551101329 In an unrelated thread, Greg Ewing provides some hints on how to extend Python's grammar: http://www.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=551856547 Michael Hudson announces release 0.60 of his perverse bytecodehacks: http://www.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=551614919 While John Aycock previews an alpha Python decompiler: http://www.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=550109419 Along the same track, David Jeske announces that work has started on pylint.py, a LINT for Python focussing on type-inference: http://www.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=551464214 ============================================= 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 anticipates 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 Archive probing trick of the trade: http://www.dejanews.com/dnquery.xp?QRY=&DBS=2&ST=PS &defaultOp=AND&LNG=AL L&format=threaded&showsort=date&maxhits=100&groups=co mp.lang.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 Suggestions/corrections for next week's posting are always welcome. http://www.egroups.com/list/python-url-leads/ To receive a new issue of this posting in e-mail each Monday morning, ask <claird@neosoft.com> to subscribe.
