Before then, py2exe was made only for Python 2, [4] and it was necessary to use an alternative like cx_Freeze for Python 3 code. Although this program transforms a .py file to an .exe, it does not make it run faster because py2exe bundles the Python bytecode without converting it to machine-code.
The Python programming language has a builtin plistlib module to read and write plist files, in Apple's XML or in binary (since Python 3.4). [28] ProperTree is a cross-platform editor that makes use of this library. [29] A third-party library called ccl-bplist has the additional ability to handle NSKeyedArchiver UIDs. [19]
An empty dictionary is encoded as de. A dictionary with keys "wiki" → "bencode" and "meaning" → 42 is encoded as d4:wiki7:bencode7:meaningi42ee. There are no restrictions on the types of values stored within lists and dictionaries; they may contain other lists and dictionaries, allowing for arbitrarily complex data structures.
YAML (/ ˈ j æ m əl /, rhymes with camel [4]) was first proposed by Clark Evans in 2001, [15] who designed it together with Ingy döt Net [16] and Oren Ben-Kiki. [16]Originally YAML was said to mean Yet Another Markup Language, [17] because it was released in an era that saw a proliferation of markup languages for presentation and connectivity (HTML, XML, SGML, etc.).
StarDict, developed by Hu Zheng (胡正), is a free GUI released under the GPL-3.0-or-later license for accessing StarDict dictionary files (a dictionary shell). It is the successor of StarDic, developed by Ma Su'an (馬蘇安), continuing its version numbers.
YAML version 1.2 is a superset of JSON; prior versions were not strictly compatible. For example, escaping a slash / with a backslash \ is valid in JSON, but was not valid in YAML. [ 46 ] YAML supports comments, while JSON does not.
Python 3.0, released in 2008, was a major revision not completely backward-compatible with earlier versions. Python 2.7.18, released in 2020, was the last release of Python 2. [37] Python consistently ranks as one of the most popular programming languages, and has gained widespread use in the machine learning community. [38] [39] [40] [41]
In 2011, Download.com started bundling the Babylon Toolbar with open-source packages such as Nmap. Gordon Lyon , the developer of Nmap, criticized the decision.
