    ...problems with Python itself, either in scalability or stability. Wing IDE can handle software projects with thousands of Python files, and in many cases can run for weeks without problems. To our knowledge, we have yet to see Wing IDE crash because of a flaw in the Python interpreter or its standard libraries. Mixed-language Development Python is almost always fast enough but we did run into a few cases where the interpreter did introduce too much overhead. The Wing IDE debugger and the source...

    ...problems very quickly, usually immediately upon inspection. While there are debuggers available for Python, we were able to get along very well without them. By using Python, largely because of the RAD features identified above, we realized the following additional benefits: Because the Python interpreter handles program errors by raising exceptions, and doesn't just crash as would a buggy C/C++ module, it was easy to capture and log unexpected errors seen on the assembly line. This allowed pr...

    ...problem, I chose instead to write a general-purpose, although simple, code generator tool. It would solve the problem of managing small chunks of generator code sprinkled throughout a large collection of files. We could then use this general purpose tool to solve our specific generation problem. The tool I wrote is called Cog. Its requirements were: We needed to be able to perform interesting computation on the schema to create the code we needed. Cog would have to provide a powerful langua...

    ...problem: I could easily generate configuration files from the user's GUI actions, but editing them was a much harder problem. Or, rather, reading them into an editable form was a problem. The parser for fetchmail's configuration file syntax is rather elaborate. It's actually written in YACC and Lex, two classic UNIX tools for generating language-parsing code in C. In order for fetchmailconf to be able to edit existing configuration files, I thought it would have to replicate that elaborate parse...
