Hello, I just decided to port a part of my scientific application from c++ to python.
I chose Python because: - it's a script language in which I can represent a graph - it's portable and works out-of-the-box on popular platforms - floats that are doubles ;) - it's easy to learn. I need other non-programmers to be able to read my code and play with it. While this is enough justification for me to use Python, I still need to *prove* in my publication why I chose it. Does anybody know of a book or (preferably) some scientific paper that elaborates on the subject and that I can use as a reference? Note that I don't need to say that Python is better than another language, only that it fulfills those requirements. Thank you, Frederic -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
