Here's what new-style classes have to offer: Properties: Attributes that are defined by get/set methods Static methods and class methods The new __getattribute__ hook, which, unlike __getattr__, is called for every attribute access, not just when the attribute can't be found in the instance Descriptors: A protocol to define the behavior of attribute access through objects Overriding the constructor __new__ Metaclasses (not discussed)

Re: Kill process based on window name (win32) Thank you Roger. Your advice did the trick. For anyone interested, the basic code to terminate a process (politely) would be something like this (hwnd is retrieved using win32gui.EnumerateWindows): # Get the window's process id's t, p = win32process.GetWindowThreadProcessId(hwnd) # Ask window nicely to close win32gui.PostMessage(hwnd, win32con.WM_CLOSE, 0, 0) # Allow some time for app to close time.sleep(10) # If app didn't close, force close try: handle = win32api.OpenProcess(win32con.PROCESS_TERMINATE, 0, p) if handle: win32api.TerminateProcess(handle,0) win32api.CloseHandle(handle) except: pass:

Pycha is a very simple Python package for drawing charts using the great Cairo library. Its goals are: Lightweight Simple to use Nice looking with default values Customization It won't try to draw any possible chart on earth but draw the most common ones nicely. There are some other options you may want to look at like pyCairoChart Pycha is based on Plotr which is based on PlotKit. Both libraries are written in JavaScript and are great for client web programming. I needed the same for the server side so that's the reason I ported Plotr to Python. Now we can deliver charts to people with JavaScript disabled or embed them in PDF reports.
