Had a unsettling conversation with a CS instructor that teaches at local high schools and the community college. This person is a long-term Linux/C/Python programmer, but he claims that the install, config, and library models for C# have proved to be less problematic than Python. So both his courses (intro, data structs, algorithms) are taught in C#.
I am a low-end (3-year) journeyman Pythonista, and I was attracted to the language because of its simplicity. And I have come to enjoy the richness of available libraries. Many of the good people of this NG may be 'too close' to answer, but has Python, as a general devel platform, lost its simplicity ? Is library install too complex and unreliable ?
