Backporting from Python 2.3 to Python

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

10,000 ways to Ni Hao with Unicode and

10,000 ways to Ni Hao with Unicode and
PHP
10/29/2003 12:11 AMJoel Spolsky has been cursing the lack of support for Unicode in PHP.
So last week, he wrote this great article on
The Absolute
Minimum Every Software Developer Absolutely, Positively Must Know
About Unicode and Character Sets (No Excuses!).
Of course, that still doesn't answer his initial question of how to
get Unicode working with PHP. Well Scott Reynen had the solution and
wrote Ho
w to develop multilingual, Unicode applications with PHP in
response to Joel's frustration.
Scott's technique works on all versions of PHP. Or you can just use
the UTF8 character set and mbstring
functions, which should run faster as they are coded in C. To use
mbstring, you need PHP 4.3 or later (it was buggy pre-4.3). On Unix,
you will need to compile the extension in. On Windows, you just need
to modify your php.ini.
Update: l0t3k is working on a Unicode I18N extension based
on IBM's open source International
Components for Unicode. The extension includes a UnicodeString
class with the requisite searching, replacing, casing, trimming, and
classification methods. Get the CVS version (16 Oct 2003).
PS: Ni Hao means
hello in Chinese.

build 109 does not fail anymore on Sam's test feed, if it is compiled
with .NET 1.0 Whether that is good news or (or even news at all) is
debatable, in any case, this should not be an accidental

If this is to be pursued, here a few more things to think about.
