Many of these projects would not have been possible without the rapid prototyping that is characteristic for Python. In methodological work, development and testing time is essential: an idea that can be tried out in an afternoon will be tried out, whereas an idea that requires a week of work for evaluation is oft...

Summary This may not yet be VAHNZ Controls' killer application, but I feel that the selection of the Python programming language is a move in the right direction. Technology is always evolving and no one knows what comes next, but I am confident that Python will be there ready for the challenge. Platform independence is another aspect to feel good about -- betting all the chips on one player might be riskier than ever in today's climate. For mor...

Python, on the other hand, supports writing much larger programs and better code reuse through a true object-oriented programming style, where classes and inheritance play an important role. Perl Python and Perl come from a similar background (Unix scripting, which both have long outgrown), and sport many similar features, but have a different philosophy. Perl emphasizes supp...

I run a small business, where I've been able to hire, train, and mentor contract workers who then go on to get full-time programming jobs. We've helped overhaul the Python Package Index, mentored and recruited contributors to Zulip, helped journalists open-source their code, and more.

One course I did not consider was going back to C as a default language. The days when it made sense to do your own memory management in a new program are long over, outside of a few specialty areas like kernel hacking, scientific computing and 3-D graphics -- places where you absolutely must get maximum speed and tight control of memory usage, ...

While I did have a good bit of programming experience with C/C++, I knew very little Python when I started on this project. Yet, I was able to learn Python using only its tutorial and the standard Python documentation, and then could quickly develop a substantial application. I was pleased that Python could be learned so easily and then so readily applied to non-trivial tasks. It is important ...

We were able to combine the integrated pieces of Zope that we loved and used on a daily basis, like user management and simple object publishing to the web, with the flexibility of Python and its large internal library. This also allowed us to keep source code outside of the Zope object database and on the file system, where it could be used with our existing CVS infrastructure for source code control and reporting. EZRO was developed in Python, as a Zope Product. It interacts ...

Many more lines of code would have been needed working in, for example, Java or PHP. The integration capabilities of those languages are not as strong, and their threading support is harder to use. Python is impressive as an object-oriented rapid application development language. One of Python's key strengths lies in its ability to p...
