The Definitive Guide to Django: Web Development Done Right (Paperback)

sychotic is an innovative optimizing compiler for Python code. It has unique features, the most important of which is that it breaks through the ConstantTimeBarrier. It is very easy to use and has an interface similar to that of the popular Psyco project. Below, you can see a usage example. You can also learn about HowItWorks, the ProjectHistory and KnownIssues. You can also browse the easy-to-understand source especially the alysis.py analyzer module and the dingo.py runtime bootstrap. There is an introductory screencast available (less than 5 minutes long). Usage

Charming Python: Using state machinesAlgorithms and programming approaches in Python

You can "turn an ordinary function into a thread" using the Thread class: just pass the function as the value for the `target' argument: import threading threading.Thread(target=your_function).start()

Tired of debugging Python using print statements? Don't like the cumbersome PDB (Python debugger) console? Prefer using Vim for coding your Python programs? VimPdb is the solution - allows debugging Python in an IDE-fashion, right within the Vim editor.

Winpdb is a platform independent GPL Python debugger with support for multiple threads, namespace modification, embedded debugging, encrypted communication and is up to 20 times faster than pdb.

UliPad uses Mixin and Plugin technique as its architecture. Most of its classes can be extended via mixin and plugin components, and finally become an integrity class when creating the instance. So UliPad is very dynamic. You can write the new features in new files, and hardly need to modify the existing code. And if you want to extend the existing classes, you could write mixins and plugins, and this will be bound to the target class that I call "Slot Class". This technique will make the changes centralized and easily managed.

A 'Mathematica Notebook' styled interface to Python from within TeXmacs. Blocks of code can be run independently of their order, and full multiline blocks, i.e. function remain visible and easily modifiable.

Following my thoughts yesterday, here are some VIM python scripts to add python breakpoint and debugging features to VIM. With this set up the F7 key will set a breakpoint on a line of code, Shift-F7 will remove all breakpoints and Shift-F12 will execute a script in the python debugger. This only runs on windows as far as I know, because it uses the 'start' command to launch the debugger in a seperate process without VIM waiting for it to finish. This allows you to look through the source code (and fix it) while the debugging is still in progress.
