Theoreticalls you'd start off thinking this: * Java is a stiff typing language (as old C/C++/Pascal... and even Perl are also ). * Python is a dynamic typing language - regarding almost all aspects. >From that each language can try to achieve some benefits of the other basic >paradigm by becoming cramped. Practically: * you will type a Python programs >5x faster than the equivalent in Java. * This is true, at least when we assume that test code has to be done for a good program anyway (and/otherwise "pychecker" will neutralize most first-glance disadvantages of Python) * Jave (typed code) ist executed faster. Yet Python is even faster when using little C, Pyrex, ... That is probably what counts. Robert -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
