When Python should not be used?

[Blubaugh, David A.]

Stef,

May I see your open-source version of a combined Matlab + Labview
program?  Is there a website, I may visit??  


Thanks,


David Blubaugh

I'm programming in Python now for about a year, so I'm definitely not an
expert, but this friendly list will correct me I'm wrong.
Here is what I can come up with
- design of GUI is difficult (despite all those well meant programs, of
which I couldn't get one of them working)
- autoit like applications
- low level drivers
- licenses differ a lot, which makes it hard to combine different
packages
- downwards compatibility is sometimes lost
- a number of libraries is quite in-mature but for the rest, it's a
beautiful language, and I'm working on a large application, which should
be open source replacement for MatLab + LabView.

cheers,
Stef
