Hi everyone, It has been a few months in the cooking and I'm pleased to announce the publication and ISSN of The Python Papers Source Codes (ISSN 1836-621X). The Python Papers Source Code (TPPSC) will be a collection of code manuscripts, usually with a longer companion manuscript published in The Python Papers (TPP) or The Python Papers Monograph (TPPM).
The purpose of TPPSC is modeled after "Collected Algorithms of the ACM". We will consider the following papers for TPPSC: * Algorithms: Implementation of an algorithm where it should be possible for a user to incorporate this software into a larger program, with the exception of standalone software. * Remarks: Brief report on a previously published algorithm, with the purpose of correcting / modifying the code. Details arguing for the modification should be provided with the modified code and patch file to used with the original implementation. * Translations: Translation of an algorithm / code from another programming language to Python, and should only be done if the algorithm still represents the current state of the art. * Certifications: Report on performance characteristics or verification of correctness by specification or from extensive testing of a previously published an algorithm / code. Certification reports do not change the original code; hence, a certification report usually do not contains codes. Each submission will usually consist of the following sections: 1. Title and author(s) affiliation 2. Abstract (usually a terse description of 1 or 2 sentences) 3. Description (about a page description of the purpose of the codes, including licence) 4. Code section (this is where the codes will be listed) 5. References 6. A compressed file of the codes files as supplementary materials For more details or to read our first paper under TPPSC, please go to http://ojs.pythonpapers.org/index.php/tppsc/issue/current All manuscripted for the periodicals under The Python Papers Anthology (http://ojs.pythonpapers.org) will be published once they are accepted. We look forward to your continued support. Cheers Maurice Ling Co-EIC, TPPA Maurice Ling -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
