Python 2.6

Python - (Open Source)



Python is a object-oriented programming language that promises a lot when it comes to software development.

Python is a programming language that lets you work more quickly and integrate your systems more effectively. It runs on Windows, Linux / Unix, Mac OS X, and has been ported to the Java Virtual Machine and. NET.

Known to be a structured, solid and multi language, object oriented programming language Python can be used for many kinds of software development. It is often used by computer science teachers to discover the language constructs for object-oriented programming. It is very easy to learn and to use and it includes extensive standard libraries.

Like Ruby or Perl, Python knows a great success especially as it is made ​​freely available to programmers since it is distributed as Open Source. Finally, it is particularly used as a scripting language to automate simple tasks tedious and repetitive due to its simplicity in terms of development and operation.

The major theme of Python 2.6 is preparing the migration path to Python 3.0, a major redesign of the language. Whenever possible, Python 2.6 incorporates new features and syntax from 3.0 while remaining compatible with existing code by not removing older features or syntax. When it’s not possible to do that, Python 2.6 tries to do what it can, adding compatibility functions in a future_builtins module and a -3 switch to warn about usages that will become unsupported in 3.0.

Some significant new packages have been added to the standard library, such as the multiprocessing and json modules, but there aren’t many new features that aren’t related to Python 3.0 in some way.

Python 2.6 also sees a number of improvements and bugfixes throughout the source. A search through the change logs finds there were 259 patches applied and 612 bugs fixed between Python 2.5 and 2.6.
