    ...Python code and 300 days (almost as much) on 44K of C, C++, or other code. From our experience with code conversions, we believe it is roughly correct for most types of performance-critical code to equate one line of Python with ten lines of C or C++ code. This means that about 5-10% of our application functionality is in C or C++ and the rest is in Python. Even considering that the C/C++ code is somewhat more complex than most of the Python code, these results confirm without any doubt that wor...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...Python requires less supporting code. In most other languages, a significant amount code is needed just to get to the point of implementing an algorithm. In Python this is kept to a minimum: It is not necessary to declare variables or types, create iterators and other support objects, break code into particular files, or write other supporting code required in languages like C++ or Java. As a result, Python is almost executable pseudo-code. Python speeds the development cycle. Since Python cod...
