The said:To be honest, i have never looked at python. I probably never will
either, as I have just taken a consultancy role at a 100% MS shop!
However, I have hearld lots about it, and I will endeavour to have a
look in my onw time, maybe when I buy my Mac.
Python is a programming language, not an alternative monopolistic
software vendor who throws their toys out of the pram when they can't
bully and control someone (in this case, they don't like Java because
they can't force it to be windows-only - thus they made .net). The
point of using Python is that it is a good choice of language for many
projects - it is faster and easier to work with for many types of code,
as it is higher level, interpreted, dynamically typed, has direct
support for constructs such as dictionaries and lists, and has a vast
selection of library modules.
If you really insist on using .net, rather than a proper cross-platform
toolkit, then look at Iron Python - it is effectively Python#.
