Ken, I would suggest that you embed python in your app (very easy to do).
-And convert several of your existing scripts to python. -Show them a stack of python books for customer training purposes - Drive excel with python (allows integration of your product with other products. - Pick an area of functionality that your product offers today that your customer would like to customize. - convert this alg to python - hack you product to execute the python script - code a variant of the alg in python - execute your variant to demonstrate that python can lower custom development cost, and provide points of extensibility Have fun, good luck, Mike Kenneth McDonald wrote: > I'm not trying to persuade my company to offer Python as a scripting > language for their product, but I am trying to give them examples of > things that Python can do easily that cannot be done easily with their > current proprietary scripting language.
