PythonWare: Anyone using for real projects?

[A. Keyton Weissinger]

Besides the pythonworks team, of course...

I read this review:
http://www.webreview.com/2001/07_20/developers/index02.shtml

and have stayed away. I am using the BlackAdder beta and so far am
unimpressed (though in their defense it is a beta).

I've not used ActiveState's VisualPython. I've always liked the slickness of
VStudio, but hated the handcuffs. We'll see if the .NET version is any
better.

I know Pythonware 1.3 is out. Does it address the issues in the review>? I
will do my homework on this as well, but wanted to see if anyone out there
had answered the question already...

Thank you!!!

Keyton

Subject: what is self._base?


Hi,

I have come across the following statement in a constructor (Programming
Python by Mark Lutz). After extending a type in C (stacktype), it is
wrapped by a Python class (Stack).

import stacktype
class Stack:
  def __init__(self, start=None):
    self._base = start or stacktype.Stack()

However I can't find any documents/explanation for the following:

1) What is  "_base"
2) What is  "start=None"
3) Why can't I just write  "self = stacktype.Stack()"


Any help for this newbie would be appreciated.

Ben
