Python FAQ

General Python FAQ Frequently Asked Questions What is Python ? Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language. It incorporates modules, exceptions, dynamic typing, very high level dynamic data types, and classes. It supports multiple programming paradigms beyond object-oriented programming, such as procedural and functional programming. Python combines remarkable power with very clear syntax. It […]

Python Glossary

Terms Description Abstract base class Abstract base classes complement duck-typing by providing a way to define interfaces when other techniques like hasattr() would be clumsy or subtly wrong (for example with magic methods). ABCs introduce virtual subclasses, which are classes that don’t inherit from a class but are still recognized by isinstance() and issubclass(); see

IEEE 1293: Standard for Terminology and Test Methods for Circuit Probes

IEEE 1293 is officially titled:“IEEE Standard for Terminology and Test Methods for Circuit Probes.” It defines standardised terms, classifications, and testing procedures related to circuit probes, especially spring-loaded or pogo pin types used in test fixtures. These probes make temporary connections between electronic test systems and the devices under test (DUTs), typically in in-circuit testing

IEEE 1051: Standard for Verilog Analogue and Mixed-Signal Extensions

IEEE 1051 is a standardised extension to the Verilog hardware description language (HDL) that allows the modelling and simulation of analogue, digital, and mixed-signal systems within a unified framework. It builds upon Verilog-AMS, a language developed to bridge the gap between purely digital simulations and real-world analogue behaviour. Full Title: IEEE 1051 – Standard for
