Archaeopteryx Software announced today release of Wing IDE version 1.1.9, a
maintenance release for its popular development environment for the Python
programming language.
Wing IDE and Python excel in rapid development of complex software systems,
typically yielding 2-10 times the development speed seen with languages such
as C, C++, Java, VB, and Perl.
Wing IDE and Python have been particularly successful in enterprise
integration, software testing, software prototyping, and for application
scripting and extension. They are also widely used for developing websites,
portable desktop applications, scientific and research applications,
commercial games, and a wide variety of engineering and modeling tools.
In October 2002, Linux Enterprise called Wing IDE "stable and fast ... a
powerful IDE."
Wing IDE 1.1.9 introduces support for debugging Python 2.3 code and adds a
number of enhancements to the debugger, editor, and source code analyzer.

About Python
Python is a powerful object oriented programming language that is developed
and maintained by a global community of Open Source contributors, under the
oversight of the Python Software Foundation (PSF). Python's unique blend of
simplicity and power excels in a wide range of business and research
development tasks, including the construction of web applications, complex
business solutions, and large desktop applications.
Python's global user base is estimated in the hundreds of thousands and is
growing rapidly. It runs on Microsoft Windows, Macintosh, Linux, Unix, OS/2,
WinCE, and many other operating systems. Full source code is available for the
language and associated standard libraries.
Key features of Python include:
| | - Object orientation, modular name spaces, exceptions, and multi-threading
- High-level dynamic data typing and very late binding
- Tight integration with C, C++, and Java modules
- May be compiled to Java byte code for use in any JVM
- String and regular expression processing
- Extensive XML and web services support
- HTTP, FTP, SMTP, POP, IMAP, NNTP, telnet, and other IP protocols
- HTML, MIME, base64, binhex, uuencode, and other Internet data handling
- GUI development and multimedia services
- Unit testing, profiling, and documentation generation
- Available third party modules for database access, math, 3D modeling,
