Webinar announcement: Python for Delphi developers


Webinar: September 30th, 2020 at 9 AM CDT

attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/5604566318708211727 


Why would a Delphi developer want to add Python to their toolbelt? It is all about library access and scriptability. The open-source Python4Delphi (P4D) library by Kiriakos Vlahos, the maker of the popular PyScripter Python IDE, allows you as a Delphi developer to leverage the entire collection of Python libraries directly from Delphi. It also makes it easy to easily execute Python scripts, create new Python modules, and new Python types directly from your Delphi application. Give your Delphi applications the best of both worlds! 


Join Python4Delphi and PyScripter author Kiriakos Vlahos, and Embarcadero Developer Advocate Jim McKeeth for this webinar to learn how to leverage Python in your Delphi applications on September 30th, 2020 at 9 AM CDT.


Font Ligatures are coming to PyScripter

 The forthcoming version of PyScripter will feature:

  • support for Python 3.9
  • support for VirtualEnv v20+
  • support for font ligatures
I am quite excited about font ligatures.  Fonts like Cascadia Code and Fira Code contain ligatures relevant to programming. See this article for details.   Here is a trivial example (see how -> and != are shown).
