Same source for the refined question: Unix-like systems Most Unix-like systems have a "search path" specifying file system directories in which to look for dynamic libraries. On some systems, t

NumPy is largely about speed, and going through extra interop layers can really bite into that (my $0.02). I think the suggestion for a smaller module to start with was about learning about compatibility with a more manageable chunk of code than the many, many lines of deep number-crunching tha

2007-10-01 Thread Matt Clinton
Thanks for the rich responses - illuminating. To be a little more specific, I was thinking about the Object/Relational Designer in the LINQ article: not so much the SQL-variant syntax to access traditional DBs (sweet as that is, there's plenty of good ways already, ala DBI), but was wondering the

[IronPython] Object DBs - Zope/Plone vs LINQ?

2007-09-28 Thread Matt Clinton
Folks, I was recently reading the July issue of Visual Studio mag, and the opening few paragraphs of their article on "Layer Data Access..." reminded me strongly of the problem solved by Zope/Plone in CPython land: databases with linked objects, rather than tabled varchars, bytes, etc. They go on

Ori, I'm pretty sure there isn't - that's a basic 'feature' of Python itself: code blocks are defined by whitespace. (one of many bug-reduction syntax features) If you're working in VS, you'll often spend a little time highlighting a block of rows then pulling down Edit - Advanced - Increase/De

Thanks Dan. Yep - IP is live in the experimental hive. Can anyone please suggest where to start to understand why the Team Studio tools in that hive have only the Developer set, not Tester (nor Architect, etc.)? Again, those are from the trial edition, if that's relevant. Alternately, can IP Ex

Howdy all, Any thoughts on Kamaelia and ETL? If I understand the concept enough, click-together code-components that act on a data-stream (with flexible concurrency) could be just the thing: replace "video frame" with "data record", and it seems one ends up with high-performance thro
