newbie question (for loop)
BB, I am getting error on the following syntax while running in Ipython and spyder and I failed to figure out why for i in range(len(list)) Error for i in range(len(list)) ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax where list is a list defined as a collection of words and it is OK prints fine. Kindly advise. Cheers Sachin Sachin Kumar Sharma Senior Geomodeler -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Advise for numerical programming content (New python user)
Python Users, I am an average Fortran user. I am new to python and I am currently evaluating options and functionalities of numerical programming and related 2d and 3d graphic outputs with python. Kindly share your experience in scientific programming with python like how do you like it, comparison with Fortran and C++. Which version of python + numpy+scipy are compatible with each other or if any other numerical analysis package is available (I am working on windows environment.) Does graphic output like maps, histogram, crossplot, tornado charts is good enough with basic installation or needs some additional packages? Your feedback is valuable for me to start. Thanks & Regards Sachin **** Sachin Kumar Sharma Senior Geoscientist -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
RE: Python use growing fast
Since this discussion is going on about the popularity of a programming language. I would like to know views regarding the best language for scientific programming especially in terms of user friendliness, resources available, graphics and robustness to handle large numerical and simulation problems.

Well, not exactly. C and C++ are older than many other languages and probably many of the web pages that contain "programming C" are very old and don't reflect their current popularity. On the other hand, newer languages are more attractive for book publishers because they can sell more books about Ruby than about C, because for C there are already very many books written so there is a bigger intrest to promote the newer languages, not just because they are better, but because there are interests involved. Talking about interests, Java and DotNet are more popular than many other languages, but we all know why, and we also know why PHP has such a big success although it is a bad language, as we all know why Window has a bigger success than other operating systems... so the popularity contest is good, but for something else than we want to prove. A programming language popularity contest is like a beauty contest for finding the most intelligent girl.
