The bulk of the files (60%) would take an entire day on average. The most complex of these files (about 20%) would take at least 2 days. This stood to waste significant engineering labor that was better spent in improving the quality of my department's software products. Each project release: 1/5 * 75 * 4 hours = 6...

As for yourself, if you prefer programming directly from a terminal window, a better choice than the default interpreter might be IPython. In addition to IDLE, there are a number of third part...

MacPython-OS9 is now Carbon-only, so it runs on Mac OS 9 or Mac OS X and possibly on Mac OS 8.6 with the right CarbonLib installed, but not on earlier releases. Many tools such as BuildApplet.py and gensuitemodule.py now support a command line interface too. All the Carbon classes are now PEP253 compliant, meaning that you can subclass them from Python.
