    ...complexity introduced by either approach, without appreciable added value. Ultimately, Python's flexibility, coding speed, solution quality, and libraries made it the language of choice for this endeavor. The LoveIntros project consumed approximately four months of full-time development work, with one developer working on the Python code, and one designer working on the UI. These four months of work were spread over more than a year of actual part-time effort. Python helped the programmers susta...

    ...complex, and it was obvious that we needed to bring to them more structure and clarity. I had been looking at Java for some time, but its potential benefits seemed to come at the cost of a steep learning curve, and an overall increase in development time. In contrast, Python appeared to offer the prospect of having both clarity and productivity at the same time. And if we ever needed to make use of Java's class libraries there was always Jython, an implementation of Python for the JVM. The incre...

  • Foreword for "Programming Python" (2nd ed.)

    ...complex to describe here in detail, will have to span several Python releases, and involves gradually increasing pressure on Python programmers (first through documentation, then through deprecation warnings, and eventually through errors) to change their code. By the way, a framework for issuing warnings will be introduced as part of Python 2.1. Sorry, Mark! So, don't expect the announcement of the release of Python 3000 any time soon. Instead, one day you may find that you are _alr...

    ...Complex numbers use rich comparisons to define == and != but raise an exception for <, <=, > and >=. Unfortunately, this also means that cmp() of two complex numbers raises an exception when the two numbers differ. Since it is not mathematically meaningful to compare complex numbers except for equality, I hope that this doesn't break too much code. The outcome of comparing non-numeric objects of different types is not defined by the language, other than that it's arbitrary but con...

In a very important project, the Finnish Civil Aviation Administration (FCAA) wanted to run their user interface layouts not just on the PowerPanel, but also in the context of a web browser. This requirement was important enough that it led to re-implementation of the PanMachine in Java, so it could be run as an applet in the browser. Bec...

It is very portable and runs on various flavors of Unix, Windows, and recently on Mac OS X. VTK was chosen as the most appropriate solution, but it was not enough to solve the problem at hand.
