    ...functionality of the application, while most of the details are taken care of by Python's powerful standard libraries and the third party modules described above. 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...

The toolkits form the interface between the Operating System of the client and the Client core.

The backend therefore is the place where the real action takes place. The REP routing inf...

All of these components were addressable through a CORBA-like distributed object infrastructure. The business logic that drives these components was written in Python, ninety percent of which is common to all of the tools.

As a result, the service developer only needs to think about the business logic in the service methods and can rely on the server to automatically provide database connection pooling, protocol handling, transaction control, and all the complicated interactions that are needed to make a server side implementation robust.

Our programming team was already familiar with it and explained that Python had a reputation for being powerful while getting the job done quickly. They suggested we...
