Overview
Advanced Programming Topics in Python
A brief introduction to PythonWorking with the filesystem.Operating system interfacesProgramming with ThreadsNetwork programmingDatabase interfacesRestricted executionExtensions in C.
This is primarily a tour of the Python library
Everything covered is part of the standard Python distribution.Goal is to highlight many of Python’s capabilities.O’Reilly OSCON 2000, Advanced Python Programming, Slide 2July 17, 2000, beazley@cs.uchicago.edu
Preliminaries
Audience
Experienced programmers who are familiar with advanced programming topics in other languages.Python programmers who want to know more.Programmers who aren’t afraid of gory details.
Disclaimer
This tutorial is aimed at an advanced audienceI assume prior knowledge of topics in Operating Systems and Networks.Prior experience with Python won’t hurt as well.
My Background
I was drawn to Python as a C programmer.Primary interest is using Python as an interpreted interface to C programs.Wrote the "Python Essential Reference" in 1999 (New Riders Publishing).All of the material presented here can be found in that source.O’Reilly OSCON 2000, Advanced Python Programming, Slide 3July 17, 2000, beazley@cs.uchicago.edu
