  • Comparing Python to Other Languages

    ...what two C++ programmers can't complete in a year. Python shines as a glue language, used to combine components written in C++. Common Lisp and Scheme These languages are close to Python in their dynamic semantics, but so different in their approach to syntax that a comparison becomes almost a religious argument: is Lisp's lack of syntax an advantage or a disadvantage? It should be noted that Python has introspective capabilities similar to those of Lisp, and Python programs can cons...

We decided that those members would work on the web GUI for configuration of the product, while the rest of us would use Python for the other components. Implementatio...

    ...what they get.) Problems and Questions P1. When all uses of a module M have the form ``from M import ...'', the module M will have a reference count of 1. So it will be deleted in step M1.

A simple remedy of course is not to use ``from M import ......
