  1. Path to Python 2.0 • 1980s — ABC — “Centrum

    Wiskunde & Informatica” • December 1989 — Guido van Rossum “Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica” • February, 1991 — Python 0.9.0 • January, 1994 — Python 1.0 • 1995 — Python 1.2 • “Corporation for National Research Initiatives” • May, 2000 — Independent development • September, 2000 — Python 1.6 — last at CNRI • September, 2000 — Python 2.0 — the first modern
  2. Python 2.0 • SourceForge • PEPs • Unicode • List

    Comprehensions • Augmented Assignment `+=`, `-=` , … • String Methods `s.join(seq)` • gc module • apply(f, args, kw) → f(*args, **kwargs) • `print >> sys.stderr, "Hello"` • `zip()` • `from distutils.core import setup` • codecs, zipfile, mmap, xml.sax, xml.dom foo = [0, 2, 1] bar = [x for x in foo if x] y = 2 y += 1 print y == 2 # 0
  3. Python 2.0 → Python 2.5 • Python 2.1 - April

    17, 2001 ◦ unittest • Python 2.3 - July 29, 2003 ◦ PEP 285 -- Adding a bool type • Python 2.4 - November 30, 2004 ◦ PEP 318 -- Decorators for Functions and Methods • Python 2.5 - September 19, 2006 ◦ PEP 308 -- Conditional Expressions • Zope 2 - 1998 • Zope 3 / BlueBream - 2004 • Django - July 21, 2005
  4. Python 2.0 → Python 2.5 def bool_or_nothing(func): def wrapper(arg): if

    arg in [0, 1]: return func(arg) else: return None return wrapper def foo(arg): return not arg foo = bool_or_nothing(foo) def bool_or_nothing(func): def wrapper(arg): return ( func(arg) if isinstance(arg, bool) else None) return wrapper @bool_or_nothing def foo(arg): return not arg
  5. Zope → Django <metal:description define-slot= "content-description" > <metal:comment tal:content= "nothing">If

    you write a custom description always use <div class="documentDescription" ></div> for it</metal:comment> <div metal:use-macro= "context/kss_generic_macros/macros/generic_description_view" >Generic KSS Description. Is rendered with class="documentDescription". </div> </metal:description> {% if latest_question_list %} <ul> {% for question in latest_question_list %} <li><a href="/polls/{{ question.id }}/">{{ question.question_text }}</a></li> {% endfor %} </ul> {% else %} <p>No polls are available. </p> {% endif %}
  6. Django from django.http import HttpResponse import datetime def current_datetime(request): now

    = datetime.datetime.now() html = "<html><body>It is now %s.</body></html>" % now return HttpResponse(html) from django.conf.urls import url from django.contrib import admin urlpatterns = [ url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls), url(r'^posts/$' , views.post_list, name= 'post_list' ), ]
  7. Six - Pre-Modern Era • Python 2.6 - October 1,

  9. It's a kind of magic async def ping_server(ip: str): #

    ping code here... async def ping_local(): async with connection.connect(): ip: str = await connection.get_ip() return await ping_server(ip)
