I used to do core python development using debian linux (gnome). All way long
work just fine. However recently I have had a chance to try MacOS X 10.8 and
later 10.9. I used macports.org to setup everything I found “missing”.
Vim works fine regardless the platform… quite happy.
Thanks.

You can read the value from the address "xyz" wit

Hi Chris, thanks for the reply.
Yes, I agree. The main consideration is always the development experience.
However, I do know that python has had some problems with other OSs
(notoriously windows) and I want to avoid unnecessary compatibility issues.
