Python is a general-purpose, high-level programming language whose design philosophy emphasizes code readability. Python's syntax allows programmers to express concepts in fewer lines of code than would be possible in languages such as C, and the language provides constructs intended to enable clear programs on both a small and large scale.

How to combine http (xml/text) api with javascript api - described and implemented as a google appengine web application. This 4-part article series start with the basics, a simple php version and a ready to use ip geolocation mashup!

To work with lists many c/c++ programmer use a simple for-loop. I will try to explain how this can be made a little bit easier. Thinking functional will help to shorten und optimize code who can easy speed up development time and performance.

The Qt toolkit is a widely-used cross-platform GUI toolkit, available for Windows, Linux, Mac OSX, and handheld platforms. QT has a well-structured, but flexible, object-oriented organization, clear documentation, and an intuitive API. This article looks at the Qt library, with a focus on the PyQt bindings that let Python programmers access Qt functionality.

The Part 3 of the series continues the discussion by illustrating additional capabilities, like currying and other higher-order functions contained in the Xoltar Toolkit. Article includes code snipets.

This column continues the introduction to functional programming (FP) in Python. The introduction to different paradigms of program problem-solving demonstrates several intermediate and advanced FP concepts. Article includes code snipets.

Although users usually think of Python as a procedural and object-oriented language, it actually contains everything you need for a completely functional approach to programming. This article discusses general concepts of functional programming, and illustrates ways of implementing functional techniques in Python.
