Python Moving into the Enterprise

Posted by timothy on from the slither dept.

Qa1 writes "Seems that Python is moving into the enterprise. At the recent PyCon it has become apparent that it's not just Google, GIS, Nokia or even Microsoft anymore. The article points out that Python is increasingly becoming a perfectly viable and even preferred choice for the enterprise. More and more companies are looking at Python as a good alternative to past favorites like Java. Will we finally be able to code for living in a language that's not painful? Exciting times!"

    no matter what cool features it has nothing is going to make me want to code in a language where you have to bung the self reference into the signature of class methods.

    php is annoying enough with $this-> accesses to everything

    can't somebody spend a bit more time on the basics?

  2. Python is just Dumb by Univac_1004 · · Score: 0, Troll
    Python has been dumb-downed for people who don't understand how computers work. Or want to know.

    But even with that goal it still includes some very irritating and useless constructs.

    It's best place is to replace the original BASIC as in introduction to computer programming course... say at the early middle school level.
