frameworks, such as Python’s COM support on MS Windows, the Jython Java-basedimplementation, the IronPython .NET-based implementation, and various CORBAtoolkits for Python, provide alternative ways to script components. On Windows, forexample, Python scripts can use frameworks to script MS Word and Excel.Database ProgrammingFor traditional database demands, there are Python interfaces to all commonly usedrelational database systems—Sybase, Oracle, Informix, ODBC, MySQL, PostgreSQL,SQLite, and more. The Python world has also defined a portable database API foraccessing SQL database systems from Python scripts, which looks the same on avariety of underlying database systems. For instance, because vendor interfacesimplement the portable API, a script written to work with the free MySQL systemwill work largely unchanged on other systems (such as Oracle); all you have to do isreplace the underlying vendor interface.Python’s standard pickle module provides a simple object persistence system—itallows programs to easily save and restore entire Python objects to files and file-likeobjects. On the Web, you’ll also find a third-party system named ZODB that providesa complete object-oriented database system for Python scripts, and anothercalled SQLObject that maps relational tables onto Python’s class model. And, as ofPython 2.5, SQLite is a standard part of Python itself.Rapid PrototypingTo Python programs, components written in Python and C look the same. Because ofthis, it’s possible to prototype systems in Python initially, and then move selectedcomponents to a compiled language such as C or C++ for delivery. Unlike some prototypingtools, Python doesn’t require a complete rewrite once the prototype has solidified.Parts of the system that don’t require the efficiency of a language such as C++ canremain coded in Python for ease of maintenance and use.Numeric and Scientific ProgrammingThe NumPy numeric programming extension for Python mentioned earlier includessuch advanced tools as an array object, interfaces to standard mathematical libraries,and much more. By integrating Python with numeric routines coded in a compiledlanguage for speed, NumPy turns Python into a sophisticated yet easy-to-usenumeric programming tool, which can often replace existing code written in traditionalcompiled languages such as FORTRAN or C++. Additional numeric tools forPython support animation, 3D visualization, parallel processing, and so on.What Can I Do with Python? | 11
Gaming, Images, AI, XML, Robots, and MorePython is commonly applied in more domains than can be mentioned here. Forexample, you can do graphics and game programming in Python with the pygamesystem; image processing with the PIL package and others; robot control programmingwith the PyRo toolkit; XML parsing with the xml library package, the xmlrpclibmodule, and third-party extensions; AI programming with neural network simulatorsand expert system shells; and natural language analysis with the NLTK package.You can even play solitaire with the PySol program. You’ll find support for manysuch fields at the Vaults of Parnassus, and the newer PyPI web sites (search Googleor http://www.python.org for links).In general, many of these specific domains are largely just instances of Python’s componentintegration role in action again. Adding Python as a frontend to libraries ofcomponents written in a compiled language such as C makes Python useful forscripting in a wide variety of domains. As a general-purpose language that supportsintegration, Python is widely applicable.What Are Python’s Technical Strengths?Naturally, this is a developer’s question. If you don’t already have a programmingbackground, the language in the next few sections may be a bit baffling—don’tworry, we’ll explore all of these terms in more detail as we proceed through thisbook. For developers, though, here is a quick introduction to some of Python’s toptechnical features.It’s Object OrientedPython is an object-oriented language, from the ground up. Its class model supportsadvanced notions such as polymorphism, operator overloading, and multiple inheritance;yet, in the context of Python’s simple syntax and typing, OOP is remarkablyeasy to apply. In fact, if you don’t understand these terms, you’ll find they are mucheasier to learn with Python than with just about any other OOP language available.Besides serving as a powerful code structuring and reuse device, Python’s OOPnature makes it ideal as a scripting tool for object-oriented systems languages such asC++ and Java. For example, with the appropriate glue code, Python programs cansubclass (specialize) classes implemented in C++, Java, and C#.Of equal significance, OOP is an option in Python; you can go far without having tobecome an object guru all at once. Much like C++, Python supports both proceduraland object-oriented programming modes. Its object-oriented tools can beapplied if and when constraints allow. This is especially useful in tactical developmentmodes, which preclude design phases.12 | Chapter 1: A Python Q&A Session
