I am new to Python. I am slowly realizing that Python might be a better choice when compared to java on the server side. Is there any performance comparison between Java and Python ? For example, if I use the J2EE solution vs. python (Django etc.) on the server side, would one perform better over the other ? -mohan P.S: I have changed the subject line to reflect the new thread > > -- > Aahz (a...@pythoncraft.com) <*> > http://www.pythoncraft.com/ > > "In 1968 it took the computing power of 2 C-64's to fly a rocket to the > moon. > Now, in 1998 it takes the Power of a Pentium 200 to run Microsoft Windows > 98. > Something must have gone wrong." --/bin/fortune > -- > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list >
