    ...Python - one stop shopping development plus platform independence I used Python before and it seemed to have the potential to do all the required coding and was a programming language that I enjoyed using. I was not entirely confident about some parts of the task, especially building a graphical user interface, but decided to face my fears, trusting to Python's maturity, powerful libraries, and third-party support. The SPE editor together with Python's interpreted nature proved especially valua...

Because it needs to be compiled for each platform and each Python version, there can be a lag when a new Python version comes along. pyglet is the newcomer, based on OpenGL.

    ...Python a mainstay since 1994 Enter Python. "We'd been using Python since 1994," says Friedrich, "when I literally stumbled across Python as I was searching the pre-Web Gopher FTP space for some help with a C++ project we were doing." Being an inveterate systems engineer, Friedrich "just had to investigate it." He was stunned by what he discovered. "Twenty minutes after my first encounter with Python, I had downloaded it, compiled it, and installed it on my SPAR...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...Python's interpreted nature was also a benefit: Code ideas can easily be tested in the Python interactive shell, and lack of a compilation phase makes for a shorter edit/test cycle. All of these factors combine to make Python a terrific alternative to C++ and Java as a general purpose programming language.
