Improved timedelta attributes/methods
2010/3/26 Christian Ştefănescu <st.chris(a)gmail.com>: Hello dear Python-wielding developers!

Question regarding curses and text-input methods

Repetition of work in Jython
Andrey Fedorov wrote: Hi all, So from what I understand, Jython translates Python code into JVM byte code. Does anyone know why this was chosen instead of translating Python bytecode to JVM bytecode directly? It seems that it would be a lot easier to get Jython up-to-speed if there could be some "sha... 25 Mar 2010 14:57
