[$] Easier Python string formatting
Some languages pride themselves on providing many ways to accomplish any
given task. Python, instead, tends to focus on providing a single solution
to most problems. There are exceptions, though; the creation of formatted
strings would appear to be one of them. Despite the fact that there are
(at least) three mechanisms available now, Python's developers have just
adopted a plan to add a fourth.
With luck, this new formatting mechanism (slated for Python 3.6) will
improve the traditionally cumbersome string-formatting facilities available
in Python. | | 3:14p |

Shah: QEMU Maintainers on the 2.4 Release On his blog, QEMU developer Amit Shah gathered up information on the recent QEMU 2.4 release from the maintainers. It takes the form of a video made at KVM Forum, as well as some email comments from those who were not present. " Many contributors to the QEMU and KVM projects meet at the annual KVM Forum conference to talk about new features, new developments, what changed since the last conference, etc.
The QEMU project released version 2.4 just a week before the 2015 edition of KVM Forum. I thought that was a good opportunity to gather a few developers and maintainers, and get them on video where we can see them speak about the improvements they made in the 2.4 release, and what we can expect in the 2.5 release." |
