Hello,
I've asked this question at stackoverflow a few weeks ago, and to make
it clear: this should NOT be a copy of the stackoverflow-thread
"hidden features of Python".
I want to design a poster for an open source conference, the local
usergroup will have a table there, and in the past years there were
some people that came to the python-table just to ask "why should I
use python?".
For those guys would be a poster quite cool which describes the most
popular and beloved python features.
So, may you help me please? If there's a similar thread/blogpost/
whatever, please give it to me, google couldn't.
My reasoning: I needed a language more powerful than bash, but more
portable and faster to develop (at least small scripts) than C/C++. So
I needed a scripting language. Python, Ruby, Perl, Tcl, ...?
Python seems to be the language with the most libraries available,
programs written in it, OS-support (even runs on my smartphone), has a
good data-model, has a good interactive shell (iPython).
