  • Comparing Python to Other Languages

    ...Java implementation. To support this type of development, a Python implementation written in Java is under development, which allows calling Python code from Java and vice versa. In this implementation, Python source code is translated to Java bytecode (with help from a run-time library to support Python's dynamic semantics). Javascript Python's "object-based" subset is roughly equivalent to JavaScript. Like JavaScript (and unlike Java), Python supports a programming style that uses...

  • Glue It All Together With Python

    ...Java Integration A new Python implementation written in 100% Pure Java, dubbed JPython, is currently under development; alpha releases are available for evaluation. JPython offers seamless scripting for Java. It is a full implementation of the Python language and standard library, adding direct access to the universe of Java classes. Java code can also use Python classes -- this is important for callbacks, for instance. The main thrust for JPython is that it does for Java what Pyth...

For Gusto.com, Jython has bridged the gap between the front-end Java-based web systems and the back-end Python tools that do much of the heavy lifting. Newbies One unexpected bonus discovered in the 4 years Gusto.com has been using Python is its support for new developers and interns, and its ability to make existing code more app...

    ...Java-based prototype for delivery to a large group of developers that would turn it into a marketable product. The approach of using Python early in prototyping made it possible for us to study concepts using working code almost from the start of this project. Although we had to rewrite our Python prototype in Java, the overall time spent on prototyping was lower than we have seen in other projects that used only Java. Conclusion Python is easy to learn and use, produces maintainable code, and...

    ...Java, so it could be run as an applet in the browser. Because Lua could not be run under Java, this was a good time to replace it. Python and Jython, the Java implementation of Python, were chosen because they would allow both the PowerPC and Java implementations of the PanMachine to execute the same user interface layouts. Python, implemented in C, was used on the PowerPC, and Jython, implemented in Java, was used in the browser applet. Implementation in Python Re-implementation using Pytho...

    ...Java) is a modern language with objects, modules, threads, exceptions, and automatic memory management. At the time, both C and C++ were rejected as missing at least some of these features. The solution needed to be multi-threaded. Neither Perl nor Java was chosen as the solution at the time. Perl was not considered to be as robust. Java did not allow control over the core interpreter. The language was subject to the quirks of the particular Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed on each syste...

    ...Java and J2EE? While it would be possible to create a similar system with Java and J2EE, development costs would be much higher. Jakarta and ObjectWeb have both matured but are still poorly integrated when compared with Zope, and require a much more complex development style. Java's poor introspection features are also still a serious limitation for efficient metaprogramming, for using Java itself as a scripting language, or for flexible object persistence. Using Java is simply not consistent wi...
