I don't have a vote, so this is nothing but personal opinion. I love python personally (in addition to extensive use, I have written and taught a course, tech-edited the Python Essential Reference, volunteer as a webmaster for python.org website, etc.), but it doesn't seem a great match to the objectives of Tizen at the moment. It's not terribly fast, it gets kind of bulky when you introduce the included batteries, and then a whole bunch of the useful extra bits, the interpreter binary is another big thing that has to be added to an execution profile that people are already grumbling is too big, and so on. And it must be said, it doesn't "lock down" nearly as easily as some people seem to want for Tizen. _______________________________________________ General mailing list General@lists.tizen.org https://lists.tizen.org/listinfo/general
