    ...Python is almost executable pseudo-code. Python speeds the development cycle. Since Python code is compiled to byte code on the fly by the interpreter, the development cycle is just "edit-and-execute" instead of "edit-compile-execute". In practice, this can save substantial amounts of time. Python facilitates debugging. Python's detailed tracebacks reveal the cause of problems very quickly, usually immediately upon inspection. While there are debuggers available for Python,...

    ...Python turned out to be more qualified for the job than initially expected i.e. Python turned out to be a true problem solver. At present most of the original Python code is still untouched or replaced by new Python code. The Python Successes Speed of development For us, development in Python has been proven to be much more efficient. Our developers generally finish Python based projects much quicker than comparable projects in other languages like C, C++, C# or Java. Apart from the latter, P...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...Python and Zope, a web application server written in Python, were chosen for the work. devIS had been using Zope since 1999 and already had a large staff of developers that were skilled in the ways of Zope, including the owner and developer of ZopeLabs. At this time devIS was still developing its web applications using Zope's management interface, DTML (dynamic template markup language) tags, and short Python scripts to create dynamic sites. But Zope's management interface was not a good environ...

    ...Python's interpreted nature was also a benefit: Code ideas can easily be tested in the Python interactive shell, and lack of a compilation phase makes for a shorter edit/test cycle. All of these factors combine to make Python a terrific alternative to C++ and Java as a general purpose programming language. ForecastWatch.com was made possible because of the ease of programming complex tasks in Python, and the rapid development that Python allows. About the Author Eric Floehr specializes in larg...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...Python Mantra Still missing in our plan were the skills needed to code Python servers and clients. Most of the programmers in our team knew only a mix of Java, Visual Basic, and C++. While the J2EE group was working on solving J2EE problems, we invested a day in teaching Python to the rest of the team. Python wasted no time making its way into the hearts and minds of these programmers. It was a thrill to hear fellow programmers chiming in with our own Python mantra: "This is what I've alwa...

They install as "/usr/bin/python2.4" and will not conflict with the system Python unless you are running on a system that ships the a version of Python which has the same major/minor number. To invoke the interpreter with these packages, you will explicitly have to run "python2.4". Note that all Python RPMs provided by Python.org and Red Hat provide a "/usr/bin/...
