Posted by CmdrTaco on from the watch-out-for-the-teeth dept.

Eventh writes "The final release of Python 2.4 was just released. Python 2.4 is the result of almost 18 month's worth of work on top of Python 2.3. New features are, but not limited to, function decorators, generator expressions, a number of new module and more. Check out Andrew Kuchling's What's New In Python for a detailed view of some of the new features of Python 2.4. "

    ...after Linus's comments I am inclined to get more profficient with Bash and C and almost ignore Python completely. It's so dissapointing though - I really wanted to learn Python; it's such a neat language.

    Alas, there just isn't that much of a reason for me to since most of what I want to do can be done with Bash. This is a reality I don't want to face.

    Because that would be consistent. What, haven't you ever used Python? Its no less a hack than Perl, its just a much more legible, better documented hack.
