Python compared to Java: You don't have the strictly enforced type checking and object-oriented programming, which is sometimes not needed. Also, Java was meant to be blind to the platform, so you will have trouble accessing anything outside your program. Python has the os, shutil, and subprocess modules that let you run command line programs and scripts, and you can directly access the win32 API if you are only programming for Windows. Also, Java requires the JVM to run. With python, you can run the program through the regular python interpreter, on the JVM (Jython), natively in Windows (IronPython or freeze it with py2exe), and just about anywhere else you want, so people who use your software won't have to install Python themselves. > > Tnx, > Raxit > www.mykavita.com > -- > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list >
