About:
Python is an interpreted, interactive,
object-oriented programming language. It combines
remarkable power with very clear syntax, and isn't
difficult to learn. It has modules, classes,
exceptions, very high level data types, and
dynamic typing. There are interfaces to many
system calls and libraries, as well as to various
windowing systems (Tk, Mac, MFC, GTK+, Qt,
wxWindows). New built-in modules are easily
written in C or C++. Python is also usable as an
extension language for applications that need a
programmable interface.

WARNING: make test plays a sound
by sigra - Oct 23rd 2002 15:58:59
I built Python-2.2.2. When it was done I executed
"make check" and continued with my other stuff
and didn't think more about the test going on in
the background.
Suddenly I got a shock when I heard a strange
sound from my computer sound system. I could not
identify it and assumed that I had been cracked
and someone was playing with me. I immediately
disconnected my network and started investigating
without finding anything suspicious. I wondered
if I had lost my connection to reallity or if I
had gotten otherwise mentally ill.
Finally I returned to the shell with the python
build and ran "make check" again because I didn't
know what else to do. After I while I heard the
sound again and got another shock. Then I thought
it would be something related to Python and
executed "find -name *.wav", nothing, "find -name
*.ogg", nothing, "find -name *.au",
"./Lib/test/audiotest.au"! I played the sound and
recognized it as the strange sound I heard
before. That was a relief!
Is Python supposed to scare the shit out of
paranoid people like me?

Of course Python is suppose to scare you. "No one
*expects* the Spanish Inquisition."
