<p>There are none. This is what modules are for: grouping related functions. Using a class full of static methods makes me cringe from Javaitis.

<p>If you call a function with the wrong number of parameters then there are two possibilities:</p> <ul> <li>Either you design your function to handle an arbitrary number of arguments. Then you should know what to do with the extra arguments. The answer of Alec Thomas shows you how to handle this case.</li> <li>Or you...

Evaluate my Python server structure

<p>I'm building a game server in Python and I just wanted to get some input on the architecture of the server that I was thinking up.</p> <p>So, as we all know, Python cannot scale across cores with a single process. Therefore, on a server with 4 cores, I would need to spawn 4 processes. </p> <p>Here is the steps tak...

<p>It's called models.Model and not models.model (case sensitive). Fix your Poll model like this -</p> <pre><code>class Poll(models.Model): question = models.CharField(max_length=200) pub_date = models.DateTimeField('date published') </code></pre> <p>Hope that helps...</p>

<p>If its not a big extension, boost::python might also be an option, it executes faster than swig, because you control what's happening, but it'll take longer to dev.</p> <p>Anyways swig's overhead is acceptable if the amount of work within a single call is large enough. For example if you issue is that you have some...

<p>For sure you will always have a performance gain doing this by hand, but the gain will be very small compared to the effort required to do this. I don't have any figure to give you but I don't recommend this, because you will need to maintain the interface by hand, and this is not an option if your module is large!<...
