Heads of the Hydra (or, your Python ain’t just vanilla)
Chad Estioco
There’s Python... ...and there are even more Pythons!
why make it complicated?! ( i thought this month is
for beginners? )
SPEED xor COMPATIBILITY
BUT WAIT! keep your Linux happy… … install in /opt/bin
(or, at least, don’t ever overwrite the default python)
Jython (Java + Python)
Jython: Calling Java from Python always use: from java.package import
JavaClass [https://wiki.python.org/jython/PackageScanning]
Jython: Calling Python from Java javac -cp .:/opt/bin/jython2.5.3/* SnakeCaller.java java
-cp .:/opt/bin/jython2.5.3/* SnakeCaller
NOT BECAUSE YOU CAN DO IT MEANS YOU SHOULD DO
IT
And while we are at it, I should mention... IronPython
http://ironpython.net
PyPy a faster breed of snake
Ladies and gentlemen, this is where the SPEED comes in...
...but compatibility goes out :( gevent pygame pycuda pygtk tkinter
modwsgi pycrypto buildbot colibri grok mailman moinmoin planet plone pylucid rietveld biopython silvacms viewvc turbogears web.py webcore zope genshi pisa matplotlib pythoncreole rest2web rst2pdf scipy numpy creoleparser lepl misaka plex pypeg yml [https://bitbucket. org/pypy/compatibility/wiki/Ho me]
Stackless Python look ‘ma, no (C) stacks!
Stackless Powered!
But, Stackless Python is still in alpha state :( Personally,
I don’t use things labeled “alpha” unless it’s this -> Note: No entity named “Sony”, individual or otherwise, is paying me for this slide.
If anything, Stackless Python shows promise xkcd: Python endorser since
comic 353. Used images from comics 989 and 442.
