Python as a Language Choice

[Cousin Stanley]

| One thing that is important to me is that the quality
| of the freely available python releases is very high.
|
| I've had problems with bugs in compilers and core libraries
| of other languages from the big-name software vendors,
| but I don't recall that ever happening with python.

Al ...

I've only tried Python 2.2.1 and have just yesterday
installed Python 2.3b1, but both seem very stable
on the Win98 system that I use, although the amount
of testing I've done with 2.3b1 is at this point limited ...

The only other major vendor compilers I've used in recent history
are Sun's Java [ 1.2 | 1.3 | 1.4 ] and have experimented a bit
with Blooshed Dev C and Dev C++ ...

Fortunately these all worked OK for me,
so I feel very lucky in view of your experience ...

Thanks for the feedback ...
