Tutorials at the Third Python Workshop

The tutorial fee will be $50 for a single tutorial session, or $100 for any combination of two or three sessions. (See registration page for details.) Please indicate which tutorials topics you plan to attend. Rank them if you are interested in more than one. There are two tutorial tracks, in the time slot 7:00-9:00 AM on Mon-Wed December 4-6, 1995. One track extends across the entire three days:

Mon-Wed 7-9 AM: Extending and Embedding Python, Guido van Rossum

The other track includes one two-day sequence and a single-day session:

Mon-Tue 7-9 AM: Python and the WWW, Digital Creations
Wed 7-9 AM: Python on a Windows machine, Mark Hammond

Here are some details about two of the tutorial sequences:

Extending and Embedding Python

Instructor:Guido van Rossum

Day 1: Writing a Python extension module in C or C++
Day 2: Defining new Python object types in an extension module
Day 3: Embedding the Python interpreter in other applications

Required background: experience in Python programming; experience in C programming; some experience in building Unix applications using Make. Topics discussed will also include:

Using other languages, e.g. Fortran
Interfacing to external libraries
Tools that help you create extension modules, e.g. Modulator
Interacting with the standard Python object types from C
Invoking the Python interpreter from C
Building extensions on non-Unix platforms

Designing World Wide Web services using Python

Instructor:Paul Everitt, or someone like him
This tutorial will teach the use of Python for delivering Internet services. After a discussion of the problem domain (mainly the WWW), we will begin with CGI programming, using Python, on various platforms with various WWW servers.

Then, we will discuss how to use the Digital Creations' software to do non-CGI applications. This will introduce CORBA programming using ILU, and our interface into the httpd API.

Objectives

using Python as a CGI scripting language
how (and why) to leap past CGI's limitations using distributed objects
introduction to ILU and Python
