About Python

Python is a programming language that we can thoroughly recommend. On this page, it is intended that various projects that we have been working on can be studied by anyone interested enough to do so. See also David's own projects page!

Python Software

Repositories for some of the following software and other projects can be found via the repository viewer.

• EventAggregator is an extension for the MoinMoin Wiki software that permits events to be defined and presented in event calendars.
• The jailtools distribution consists of modules and programs for restricting the execution of programs using chroot "jails".
• The kpartplugins package provides useful extensions for KHTML within the Konqueror Web browser.
  (This is mostly David's work.)
• The libxml2dom package provides a PyXML-style DOM API for libxml2.
• The pprocess distribution provides elementary, multiprocess parallel programming support for Python programs.
• The qtxmldom package provides a PyXML-style DOM API for qtxml, KHTML and KHTML via DCOP.
• The micropython source code analysis and compilation toolchain for Python.
• The RDFCalendar, RDFMessage and RDFFormats distributions provide facilities for processing and storing information in RDF data stores.
• The sqltriples distribution provides SQL-accessible RDF data stores.

  (xhtmlhook: This document can be imported directly using xhtmlhook.)
• A document describing the automation of applications on Windows platforms using Python and COM.
• A document discussing different approaches to processing and analysing HTML with Python.

Other Python Documentation

For up-to-date information on Python Web frameworks, see the WebProgramming section of the PythonInfo Wiki. (The original basis of that section was the "Python Web Frameworks" overview and the comparison of Python framework features and J2EE standards found on this site.)
