Just saw this article over at LinuxPlanet:
http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/tutorials/1132/1/
A good example of somebody using Python to solve a practical "real world"
problem and written in a style accesible to all.
Short precis for those with slow connections: Somebody using Python to
extract information from a large database on another web site in order to
put a restricted set of this information on his own website. Also includes
a little example of using Python as a scripting language in vim.
Probably worth having around as an advocacy sort of article (good to show
to people to convince them that Python is useful). I *do* realise I'm
preaching to the choir here, but just in case ... :-)
BTW, don't be put of by the "LinuxPlanet" bit --- it's not a Linux
specific article.
Cheers,
Malcolm Tredinnick
