    ...Python? Python was not our first choice as the main programming language it was a coincidence. When we started our project we was very proficient in Perl and completely unaware of Python: so we chose Perl. We discovered Python when we decided that we had to substitute the PerlTK user interface with a Web-based one. We found Zope, and after some attempts to integrate Perl with Zope, we switched to Python. To make a log story short, at the end we dropped Zope but kept using Python (and rewrote the...

No array attributes (namely shape, flat, real and imag) for Python versions previous to 2.2 (we use the properties feature to support this for 2.2 and later; so it is only incompatible with Numeric with older versions of Python) There are more minor differences, but these are the major backward compatiblity issues at the Python level. Two ...

    ...Python From the Start Journyx Timesheet has been using Python from the beginning. Curt Finch chose Python initially on the recommendation of a friend, Steve Madere, who had founded Dejanews.com (now a part of Google). Describing the rationale for his choice, Curt said "I looked at Java and C and came to the conclusion that 1 line of Python is 10 lines of Java or 100 lines of C. Developers write code at basically a constant rate so I chose Python which was (and is) the highest level language...

In ForecastWatch.com, Python was used for prototyping as well, and those prototypes were able to evolve cleanly into the production code without requiring a complete rewrite or switching toolsets. This saved substantial effort and made the development process more flexible and effective. Because of the clean design of the language, refactoring the Python code was also much easier than in other languages; moving code around simply requires less effort. Python's interpreted nature was also a...
