In programming languages such as Ada, Fortran, Perl, Python and Ruby, a double asterisk is used, so is written as " x ** 2 ".

Python ( programming language )' s standard library ( since 2. 6 ) also has a function in the module, that takes multiple sorted iterables, and merges them into a single iterator.

Many of its major features have been backported to the backwards-compatible Python 2. 6 and 2. 7.

The language has map (), reduce () and filter () functions, and the list comprehensions added in Python 2. 0 have since been extended with comprehensions for dictionaries and sets, as well as generator expressions.

* The statement ( from Python 2. 5 ), which encloses a code block within a context manager ( for example, acquiring a lock before the block of code is run, and releasing the lock afterwards ).

( From Python 2. 5, is also an operator.

As of Python 2. 5, it is possible to pass information back into a generator function, and as of Python 3. 3, the information can be passed through multiple stack levels.

* In Python 2, the operator on integers does integer division ; it truncates the result to an integer.

This behaviour can be enabled in Python 2. 2 + using.

In both Python 2. 2 + and Python 3, can be used to do integer division.

Python 2. 4 extended list comprehensions into a more general expression termed a generator expression.

* Python 2 has a " string format " operator.

* The vs. built-in functions ( in Python 2, is a statement ); the former is for expressions, the latter is for statements.

Perl, Python, MATLAB, and Ruby are examples of type 2, while UCSD Pascal is an example of type 3.

; Python: The uuid module ( included in the standard library since Python 2. 5 ) creates UUIDs to RFC 4122.

Apollo's role as the slayer of the Python led to his association with battle and victory ; hence it became the Roman custom for a paean to be sung by an army on the march and before entering into battle, when a fleet left the harbour, and also after a victory had been won.

Sculpture depicting Apollo's first triumph, when he slew with his bow and arrows the serpent Python, which lies dead at his feet The Walters Art Museum.

His arrival must have occurred during the " dark ages " that followed the destruction of the Mycenaean civilization, and his conflict with Gaia ( Mother Earth ) was represented by the legend of his slaying her daughter the serpent Python.

A female dragon named Delphyne ( δελφύς: womb ), who is obviously connected with Delphi and Apollo Delphinios, and a male serpent Typhon ( τύφειν: smoke ), the adversary of Zeus in the Titanomachy, who the narrators confused with Python.

Python was the good daemon ( αγαθός δαίμων ) of the temple as it appears in Minoan religion, but she was represented as a dragon, as often happens in Northern European folklore as well as in the East.

Four days after his birth, Apollo killed the chthonic dragon Python, which lived in Delphi beside the Castalian Spring.

After receiving them, Apollo cornered Python in the sacred cave at Delphi.

Apollo killed Python but had to be punished for it, since Python was a child of Gaia.

The name was first used in the English language in 1768 by R. Edwin in a colorful description of a large snake found in Ceylon ( now Sri Lanka ), most likely a reticulated python, Python reticulatus.

References to Beachcomber are strongly pervasive in Private Eye, and there is a possible, but more tenuous, line of descent from it, via the Goon Show, to Monty Python.

Commonly used software tools and technologies in this field include Java, XML, Perl, C, C ++, Python, R, MySQL, SQL, CUDA, MATLAB, and Microsoft Excel.

Berkeley DB is written in C with API bindings for C ++, PHP, Java, Perl, Python, Ruby, Tcl, Smalltalk, and most other programming languages.

It supports multiple language bindings, including C / C ++, Java ( via JNI ), C #. NET, Perl and Python.

DB XML is written in C ++ and supports multiple language bindings, including C ++, Java ( via JNI ), Perl and Python.

A programmer's primary computer language ( C, C ++, Java, Lisp, Python etc.

The genre dates from the silent era, and the most famous examples of this type of film would be those produced by Monty Python.

The greatest successes, however, came with the films of the Monty Python team, including And Now for Something Completely Different ( 1971 ), Monty Python and the Holy Grail ( 1975 ) and Monty Python's Life of Brian in 1979.

Many later languages have borrowed directly or indirectly from C, including: C #, D, Go, Java, JavaScript, Limbo, LPC, Perl, PHP, Python, and Unix's C Shell.

The PHP language has PECL and PEAR, Python has a PyPI ( Python Package Index ) repository, Ruby has RubyGems, Lua has LuaRocks, Haskell has Hackage and an associated installer / make clone cabal ; but none of these are as large as the CPAN.

The subgenre has also been represented in television and film, such as in the television series I Dream of Jeannie, Kröd Mändoon, and the 1975 film Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

As of version 7. 0 new features include support for Python scripting.

Python 3. 0 ( also called Python 3000 or py3k ), a major, backwards-incompatible release, was released on 3 December 2008 after a long period of testing.

Prior to version 3. 0, Python had two kinds of classes: " old-style " and " new-style ".

Old-style classes were eliminated in Python 3. 0, making all classes new-style.

* Python has built-in and types since 2. 4, and since Python 3. 0 and 2. 7, supports non-empty set literals using a curly-bracket syntax, e. g.:.

The Python bundle has been discontinued as of Netbeans 7. 0

return float ( sum ( g ))/ len ( g ) # in Python 3. 0 the cast to float will no longer be necessary

Support for Python 3 was added in 1. 5. 0.

Jython 2. 5. 2 implements the same set of language features as CPython 2. 5 As of 2. 5. 0, Jython is able to run popular Python frameworks such as Django, Pylons, or SQLAlchemy.

* Version 0. 47 ( November 24, 2009 ) added an eraser tool ( can slice paths ), timed autosave, spiro splines interface for paths, auto-smooth nodes for paths, spellchecker for the text tool, new path effects like " sketch " and " hatches ", new Python extensions like " alphabet soup " and " convert to Braille ", some basic support for SVG fonts, improved PostScript support, and other minor modifications.

Named parameters are supported in many languages: a non-exhaustive selection of examples would include Ada, C # 4. 0 +, Coldfusion, Common Lisp, Scala, Mathematica, PL / SQL, Python, R, Smalltalk, and Visual Basic.

* Creeper cards are included in version 4. 0, the Zombie Fluxx, Monty Python Fluxx, Martian Fluxx and Stoner Fluxx 2. 0 variants, and as certain promotional cards.

EcoFluxx, Family Fluxx, Zombie Fluxx, Monty Python Fluxx, Martian Fluxx, Pirate Fluxx, and Star Fluxx can be combined with each other and / or one of the 2. x editions, 3. x editions, or the current 4. 0 edition of regular Fluxx to make a " Mega-Fluxx " game ( as all these versions have the same card back style ).

Development of version 2. 0 is currently underway, and is written in Python and Qt4, using the PyQt4 bindings.

Some of the languages with support for foreach loops include ABC, ActionScript, Ada, C ++ 11, C #, Cobra, D, Daplex ( a query language ), ECMAScript, Java ( since 1. 5, using the reserved word for the for loop and the foreach loop ), JavaScript, Objective-C ( since 2. 0 ), Perl, PHP, Python, REALbasic, Ruby, Smalltalk, Tcl, tcsh, Unix shells, Visual Basic. NET and Windows PowerShell.

Python has a related situation, where the Boolean type, is a subtype of the integer type,, and Booleans False and True act as 0 and 1, respectively, in arithmetic contexts.

A prefix is used in the C programming language, Python, Perl, the Unix shell bash, and other languages to specify octal numbers ( and means hexadecimal ), and therefore, does not represent 20 < sub > 10 </ sub > ( 2 * 10 < sup > 1 </ sup > + 0 * 10 < sup > 0 </ sup > ), but rather 20 < sub > 8 </ sub >= 16 < sub > 10 </ sub > ( 2 * 8 < sup > 1 </ sup > + 0 * 8 < sup > 0 </ sup > = 1 * 10 < sup > 1 </ sup > + 6 * 10 < sup > 0 </ sup >).
