cspython on Windows?
by horton_brian＠hotmail.com Oct. 3, 2005

Oct. 3, 2005

Looking around the web I get the impression development of cspython hasn't kept up with the development of Crystalspace itself, but is it possible without rebuilding the whole of Crystalspace from source, to install cspython on Windows so as to access the Crystalspace runtime environment I've installed using crystalspace_0.99_050823.exe?

Well I have the following reasons not to like the current python way: 1) Beginning all your private variables with an underscore is like starting all your integers with an 'i' or all your dictionary with a 'd' etc. 2) The editor and font I use make it hard to see underscores. They usually seem to belong more to the line below than to the actual lines. My idea as somekind of compromise between what happens in languages like C++ and currently in python would be the following: 1) Allow keywords like private (or implemetation) to mark certain variables, functions or classes as an implementation detail. Personnally I would prefer the opposite such as a interface to mark objects which are not private, but that would break too much code. 2) Allow the client access to these private variables, through a special construct. Maybe instead of "from ... import ..." "from ... spy ...". Just an idea. -- Antoon Pardon

Some days I > wish a few more would exercise it. Yes they have that choice and the problem is that if too many make that choice, python wouldn't evolve. A lot of progress python made, is because people who didn't like some aspects of it, discussed them and either implemeted a change themselves or got someone else interested enough to implement a change. -- Antoon Pardon

No it is not. Consenting means you had the choice. Python doesn't give you the choice not to consent. Unless of course you write it as a C-extension, then you can hide all you want. -- Antoon Pardon
