• mcav 17y ago
  What is http://packages.python.org/ http://packages.python.org/? I hadn't heard of it before.

    It's PyPI. They allow you to host static files for documentation now. The URI would be http://packages.python.org/package_name http://packages.python.org/package_name.

  "The project is named pysistence because most of the data structures it implements are persistent. This doesn’t mean persistent in the sense that they are stored in a database or the file system. Rather, it means the data structures may only be modified by copying." Is this "persistent" or "immutable"?

    I'm being pedantic in using the term persistent, but they aren't necessarily the same thing. I made a blog post about it here: http://jasonmbaker.com/persistence-is-a-subset-of-immutability http://jasonmbaker.com/persistence-is-a-subset-of-immutabili...
