Python helped deliver the goods last Wednesday evening in front of a one hundred strong crowd of Rails hecklers...
Video footage here: http://blog.scouta.com/2007/08/16/iccarus/ ...just kidding, they were all great chaps, and only a few were Rails devs, and only a few of them were hecklers :-) I was amazed at how many developers in the audience use Rails for day to day development. As far as I could see, I was the only person developing web apps using a Python framework. For the interested, a more thorough screencast of the ICCARUS visualisation system is over here: http://scouta.com/faves/8raO17jT8Y3/ We used Python, Pyrex and Pygame to build ICCARUS over about 3 days. ICCARUS retrieved its data via a web service provided by TurboGears. It ran on OSX, Vista and Linux with minimal porting. Python through the entire system. Quite a 'Python Success Story', IMHO. -Sw. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
