Jason Vas Dias <jason.vas.d...@gmail.com> added the comment: RE: comment msg137266 - thanks for responding, Alex - though don't get misled by that wrapper script I wrote, though - I ended up replacing it with a short "C" program, which I'll attach after this comment.
RE: > I think Python is awesome ... I think Python is awesome too - I've been programming with it for nearly eight years now - but I HATE the modern propensity for replacing perfectly OK "C" programs and shell scripts with Python , or any other interpreter, "Just for the sake of it", - let's be clear what an interpreter or compiler's job is : it is to present the correct machine code to the computer for execution to perform a certain well defined task . So I don't think an "interpreter script" is automatically, by definition, preferable to a compiled executable. And I don't like significant white-space and PERL will always be my preferred script interpreter, sorry Python, that's just the way it is . I'm appending the "C" source python wrapper program that I use after this. ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file22196/python.c _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11946> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
