    ...string manipulation and HTML generation, further supports programmers in meeting aggressive development schedules. Because of these properties of the language, Python has enabled Journyx to add features more quickly than our competitors. We've been able to implement SOAP/XML and WSDL support and extended other aspects of the application's functionality well ahead of competitive products. One of the key enablers of this efficiency in maintenance and improvement is the inherent clarity and readabi...

  • Comparing Python to Other Languages

    ...strings, is weak on data structures, and executes typical code much slower than Python. Tcl also lacks features needed for writing large programs, such as modular namespaces. Thus, while a "typical" large application using Tcl usually contains Tcl extensions written in C or C++ that are specific to that application, an equivalent Python application can often be written in "pure Python". Of course, pure Python development is much quicker than having to write and debug a C or C++ component....

Dynamic high-level data typing cuts out great volumes of support code and makes it possible to write flexible and introspective code (more on this below). 3) Powerful, easy-to-use data structures -- Python's built-in list and dictionary data structures can be used in combination to build just about any fast runtime data structure in a snap. This further reduces the amount of support code you need to write. 4) Exten...

    ...string "method1". The __getattr__ method looks the name up in the __namespace__ dictionary. If it isn't found, it raises an AttributeError exception. (In a more realistic example, it would first have to look through the base classes as well.) If it is found, there are two possibilities: it's either a function or it isn't. If it's not a function, it is assumed to be a class variable, and its value is returned. If it's a function, we have to ``wrap'' it in instance of yet another ...
