Perl, PHP, and Python are used in many software projects today due to their flexibility, simplicity, portability and extensibility. To help you gain a better understanding of their popularity with Open Source developers, this article takes you through a tour of the important features and functions of Perl and Python. Using these language extensions in combination with IBM's® DB2® database and with Web services provided through the Google APIs, they build a client and server-side applicat

Backporting from Python 2.3 to Python
2.2

Backporting from Python 2.3 to Python
2.2 06/08/2004 11:18 PM

We have a home-grown templating system at work, which I intend to dedicate an entry to some time in the future. We originally wrote it in Python 2.2, but upgraded to Python 2.3 a while ago and have since been evolving our code in that environment. Today I found a need to load the most recent version of our templating system on to a small, long neglected application that had been running the original version ever since it had enough features to be usable.

Unfortunately, this application was running on a server that only had Python 2.2. Installing Python 2.3 would have been somewhat more painful here than on other servers we run for reasons I won't go in to, so I decided to have a go at getting our current code to run under the older Python version.

In the end, I only had to make three minor changes, all at the top of the file in question.

1. I added from __future__ import generators as the very first line of the file. We use generators (with the yield statement) in a few places - this feature was only properly added in Python 2.3, but was made available in Python 2.2 as a "future enhancement" through the aforementioned obscure import.

2. I added True, False = 1, 0 on the next line down. Surprisingly, Python 2.2 had no support for a boolean type and instead used a test for non-zero instead. The above line defines constants that behave enough like Python 2.3's True and False to avoid any problems.

3. I defined an enumerate function, which was introduced for real in Python 2.3. Here's the code I used:

   
   def enumerate(obj):
       for i, item in zip(range(len(obj)), obj):
           yield i, item 
   

All in all it only took around ten minutes to put the above together, after which the script worked just fine. It was interesting to see how our code had grown to rely on Python 2.3 features without us realising it.

More on Eclipse RCP

More on Eclipse RCP 07/11/2004 06:25 PM

I had problem building a working RCP application, so I put together the RCP Text Editor Example to see how to configure a RCP app.  If you want to build it yourself, instructions from the main RCP page at Eclipse site is below.  The page is actually a view into CVS, so I expect/hope the real main page will appear in the near future.

1. Download the RCP Runtime build from the Downloads page, and extract it to a folder such as c:\texteditor-example.
2. Download the RCP text editing component zip and extract it to the eclipse/plugins subfolder.
3. Download the texteditor plugin zip and extract it to the eclipse/plugins subfolder.
4. Replace the eclipse/configuration/config.ini file with the appropriate config file from the texteditor plugin. For example, on Windows, copy config_win32.ini file from org.eclipse.ui.examples.rcp.texteditor_1.0.0 plugin to eclipse/configuration and rename it to config.ini.
5. Run the eclipse executable: For example, on Windows, run eclipse.exe.

Step #4 is the key step while the rest are just downloading and expanding files.  After step #5, you should see a barebone text editor.  On Win32, the RCP text editor has disk footprint of 6MB and memory footprint of 28MB.  In comparison, NotePad2 has disk footprint of 540K and memory footprint of 4MB.  SWT apps I built before had substantially smaller footprints than the RCP app, but still significantly larger than native apps.

So what do we get for roughly ten times the footprints?  Plugins!  You can put together a fancy standalone IDE for Perl, Python, or PHP by packaging plugins from the EPIC, PyDev, or PHPEclipse projects with RCP.  You'll need to pour some sweats to glue things together because those projects are probably not fully RCP ready yet.

If you are not building an IDE, don't need IDE like level of extensibility, or there aren't many plugins useful to your product, you are probably better off skipping RCP and building on top of just SWT instead.

Eclipse 3.0

Eclipse 3.0 06/21/2004 03:37 PM

OK - so get ready for this.

IBM now has it's own Java client side GUI technology - called SWT. There's a battle going on over two different approaches to Java client sides GUIs (between IBM and Sun/BEA) and IBM is using Eclipse for getting their's adopted. Now Oracle is getting involved. :-)

Even better - is all the other tsuff that come along with Eclipse - basically creating a client-side 'middleware' layer.

I've already met one major social networking play that's planning on building their free, open P2P system with SWT. Watch for even sexier deep linking new standards for all this stuff.

Thank you to IBM for sticking to their guns. The customer is always right. It's one thing IBM understands.

Eclipse 3.0 RC2 06/12/2004 08:35 PM

I had been using Eclipse 3.0 RC1 for the past week but it was sluggish and I ran into a few hangups, so when I saw that Eclipse 3.0 RC2 was available, I got right on it.  Definitely better.  Startup is faster and shutdown takes only a second.  Nice.  I think I'll stick with this one until the final release is out which is due end of this month.  Eclipse bug count looks healthy although Platform UI and SWT team seems to be struggling a bit.

Downloading Eclipse took forever btw.  They have mirrors but mirrors are troublesome to use because it forces the user to find the package among the mirrors to download.  They should use BitTorrent IMHO and turn the mirrors into seeds.  BitTorrent needs to be more location-aware (actually route-aware) though.

A Look at the Eclipse IDE 11/16/2003 10:43 PM
Eclipse is an open source integrated development environment. It is primarily developed by OTI (Object Technology International Inc.), an IBM company. OTI, founded by Dave Thomas, is a famous name in this industry. OTI is something like the Pixar of the object-oriented world: a legendary company still at the forefront of the technology and releasing hit after hit. No wonder that some at IBM consider the OTI acquisition to be the best technology acquisition ever made by IBM.

Addicted to Eclipse

Addicted to Eclipse 12/28/2004 09:12 AM

As much as I hate to admit it, I'm addicted to Eclipse. I'm hooked on the auto-import and auto-fix stuff that automatically imports the classes I need, adds missing methods needed to implement interfaces, and declares missing variables, fields, and even classes. And I'm hooked on the CVS client that gives me a clear view of every single file I have modified in my workspace, every incoming change, and makes it easy to override-and-commit or override-and-update. Netbeans 4.0 has come a long, long way from the old 3.X series and Creator is just awesome for JSF, but 4.0 is still not good enough to pull me away from Eclipse. There, I said it.

Unfortunately, Eclipse for Solaris/X86 is linked to Motif which makes it nearly unusable so I end up using Netbeans for most of they day, only switching to Eclipse when I need to synchronize with CVS. I actually blew a Saturday afternoon trying to get Eclipse 3.1 to build on Solaris/X86 linked to GTK. I failed, but only because I ran out of time.
