Python sets are very much like mathematical sets, and support operations like set intersection and union. Python also features a frozenset class for immutable sets, see Collection types. Dictionaries (class dict) are mutable mappings tying keys and corresponding values. Python has special syntax to create dictionaries ({key: value})
A minifloat in 1 byte (8 bit) with 1 sign bit, 4 exponent bits and 3 significand bits (in short, a 1.4.3 minifloat) is demonstrated here. The exponent bias is defined as 7 to center the values around 1 to match other IEEE 754 floats [ 3 ] [ 4 ] so (for most values) the actual multiplier for exponent x is 2 x −7 .
Duqu is a collection of computer malware discovered on 1 September 2011, thought by Kaspersky Labs to be related to the Stuxnet worm [1] and to have been created by Unit 8200. [2] [3] Duqu has exploited Microsoft Windows's zero-day vulnerability.
Source code viruses are rare, partly due to the difficulty of parsing source code programmatically, but have been reported to exist. One such virus (W32/Induc-A) was identified by anti-virus specialist Sophos as capable of injecting itself into the source code of any Delphi program it finds on an infected computer, and then compiles itself into ...
The advantage over 8-bit or 16-bit integers is that the increased dynamic range allows for more detail to be preserved in highlights and shadows for images, and avoids gamma correction. The advantage over 32-bit single-precision floating point is that it requires half the storage and bandwidth (at the expense of precision and range).
Pytest is a Python testing framework that originated from the PyPy project. It can be used to write various types of software tests, including unit tests, integration tests, end-to-end tests, and functional tests.
USBKill is anti-forensic software distributed via GitHub, written in Python for the BSD, Linux, and OS X operating systems. It is designed to serve as a kill switch if the computer on which it is installed should fall under the control of individuals or entities against the desires of the owner. [1]
The default can be overridden (e.g. in source code comment) to Python 3 (or 2) syntax. Since Python 3 syntax has changed in recent versions, Cython may not be up to date with the latest additions. Cython has "native support for most of the C++ language" and "compiles almost all existing Python code". [7] Cython 3.0.0 was released on 17 July ...
