Pardon my naivety, you would think maybe I'd understand this by now, but I've always kind of wondered about it. I've been curious why one of the biggest points used to promote Python is that it has "batteries included." True, this is a great feature, but the way it's been used seems to suggest that other languages *don't* have this benefit. And maybe they don't, in their own way.
So my question is, what is the difference between Python's 'batteries' (standard modules), and C#'s framework? I know nothing of Java, but I assume it has its own rich (and confusing) set of classes as well. Is there something different about other languages' libraries/frameworks that makes Python's different, and worthy of being touted as 'batteries included'? I hope that question even makes sense! :) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
