  • Python Success Stories

    ...Python is already well suited to scripting. Experiences with Python Although many of us had never used Python before, our technical analysis of the language convinced us that it was the right choice. As we started to work with it, we found that Python is extremely easy to learn. We were actually able to become productive with it almost immediately at a level comparable to the development speeds we were used to in each of our most familiar languages. It took us somewhat longer to become famili...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...Python We are very happy with the development velocity and runtime performance that we're getting with Python. Building our application atop Twisted imposed a bit of a learning curve, but well worth it since it enables ProjectPipe to be a true multi-protocol application, speaking HTTP and XMPP/Jabber. If Python had a Just-in-Time (JIT) compiler, then we would not have had occasional misgivings while worrying about hitting performance snags. Java's JIT provides much better performance than Python...

    ...Python folks at PyCon about possible filing of an "IPYTHON" trademark by the PSF. Since the mark would be derived from the PYTHON word mark, and yet the PSF itself has never used the derived mark, assuming the trademark by the PSF will presumably require fiscal sponsorship or some other arrangement between IPython and the PSF. Mostly TBD. Beginning of March: Permission for Steve Holden <steve at holdenweb.com> to use the name "Open Python" and the Python logo embedded...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...Python? Python was not our first choice as the main programming language it was a coincidence. When we started our project we was very proficient in Perl and completely unaware of Python: so we chose Perl. We discovered Python when we decided that we had to substitute the PerlTK user interface with a Web-based one. We found Zope, and after some attempts to integrate Perl with Zope, we switched to Python. To make a log story short, at the end we dropped Zope but kept using Python (and rewrote the...
