Jeffrey P Shell: PythonPython related programming topicsUniversal Newline Support, coming soon to Python- June 23, 2002 PEP 278 is something I (and I'm sure many others) have been wanting for a very long time. Now, in Python 2.3 (most likely), you'll be able to have code like f = open(filename, 'rU'), and have ALL newlines in the file be the single, normal, 'n' character. Of interest is the new file object attribute, newlines: A file object that has been opened in universal newline mode gets a new attribute "newlines" which reflects the newline convention used in the file. The value for this attribute is...http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0278.html Reordering Items in a Zope ObjectManager- June 15, 2002 We have movable Parts!. That's right. With a little bit of code, a couple of unit tests, and some surprisingly simple UI work, Parts in an SCS Document can be re-arranged. This is yielding something I've been wanting to do (and have) for years - decent through-the-web Document editing, with drop in objects than can be reorganized easily. While I'm sure it's been done many times before, it was great seeing the results yesterday as part of my own framework and application. The work went...http://radio.weblogs.com/0106123/categories/python/2002/06/15.html#a137 Zopeishy vs Pythonishy- June 13, 2002 According to this program by Jarno Virtanen, this site is a tad more zopishy than pythonishy.http://db.cs.helsinki.fi/~jajvirta/cgi-bin/sites.py?opts=zope&opts2=python Andrew Kuchlings "What's New in Python 2.3" in development- June 11, 2002 Andrew Kuchling has published an early development revision of "What's New in Python 2.3", detailing some of the work that's already been checked in, and what's no longer bound to the __future__.http://www.python.org/dev/doc/devel/whatsnew/ ZWiki and logical structures.- June 10, 2002 ZWiki is a sehr-cool beast, as far as Wikis go. A very attractive feature, seen all over the Zope.org web site is Ken Manheimer's work on pageparenting relationships. This makes it so that Wiki pages, although stored in a flat namespace (all in one folder) can appear to be hierarchical, depending on which page generated which page (parenting can be altered of course). This in turn leads to cool things, like a structured table of contents (see the Zope 3 wiki's TOC Here). It's especially...http://radio.weblogs.com/0106123/categories/python/2002/06/10.html#a126 |
