Hi, I'm planning to learn a language for 'client' software. Until now, i 'speak' only some web based languages, like php. As a kid i programmed in Basic (CP/M, good old days :'-) ) Now i want to start to learn a (for me) new computer language.
I like Python. Its free, easy to learn and some favorite programs of my are written in Python / can understand Python (like OpenOffice) etc. But I'm not a full-time programmer. I know, that I've only time & possibility to learn one (= 1) language good. So i ask myself is python the language I'm looking for? In the future, i want to write the following applications: [*] A database driven program, which can handle my clients, tasks and places (= 3 tables, has to work relative with each other). I think, this isn't a problem for Python [*] As a photographer i like to build a picture management system (also db) with raw support. Raw is the raw-data from the sensor of the camera. My questions: - can python encode raw? - can python head for a utility like dcraw? - or head for a utility like IrfanView (delphi?) or something like that? Tnx for your help! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
