Newby:Looking for an article describing C++ vs. Python

[David Oppenheimer]

Here's a link to an article in the Feb. 98 issue of SunWorld that has what
you're looking for:

http://www.sunworld.com/swol-02-1998/swol-02-python.html

I am sure there are others, this is the only one I've found though.

Hope that helps,

David O.
