Python PostingsOn my explorations of pythonThe New New Mod-pubsub- October 27, 2004 So, the new new mod-pubsub engine is out. This is the long-awaited twisted-based one. If you are not yet familiar with mod-pubsub, and you have any interest in the two-way web, event-routing, and progressive RESTian architectures (amongst other possible profound themes into which this could be categorized), go check this out pronto.http://www.executableabstractions.com/weblog/Python/2004/10/27.html#P73 Native XML Datatype for Python, contd- October 10, 2004 Jon Udell, taking it to the next level by suggesting that such a native type be added to the mainstream VMs, kept me thinking about how to move toward the ideal of a native xml datatype in python...xmltramp looks like it is worth some experimentation. Then yesterday, serendipitously, I was browsing around the site of one of the giants of Python, Frederick Lundh, when I ran across this post of his from late 2002: Idea: XML Literals for Python. Maybe we should be praying for rainhttp://www.executableabstractions.com/weblog/Python/2004/10/10.html#P72 PEP: Native XML Datatype- October 6, 2004 Request for new Python Feature: support for a native (or quasi-native) XML datatype, a la E4X. As recently discussed by Jon Udell and Phil Windley. I wonder how close to the ideal user (developer) experience a solution could get without changes to the core language Does python 2.3.x have enough innate extensibility to make something decent possiblehttp://www.executableabstractions.com/weblog/Python/2004/10/06.html#P71 |
