Hi All,
I work on a desktop application that has been developed using python and
GTK (see www.leapfrog3d.com). We have around 150k lines of python code
(and 200k+ lines of C). We also have a new project manager with a C#
background who has deep concerns about the scalability of python as our
code base continues to grow and we are looking at introducing more
products. I am looking for examples of other people like us (who write
desktop apps in python) with code bases of a similar size who I can
point to (and even better talk to) to help convince him that python is
scalable to 300+ lines of code and beyond.
As far as I'm concerned, I'd say that if you didn't feel anything wrong
nor spot any problem so far working on a 150 klocs project, there's just
no need to worry. FWIW, a C# port would probably requires *way* much
than 150 klocs.
I have looked at the python
success stories page and haven't come up with anyone quite like us. One
of my project managers questions is: "Are we the only company in the
world with this kind and size of project?"
Doing a quick count using wc -l (so the following numbers include
comments and blank lines), Zope 2.8 is about 418 klocs, Plone 3 about
259 klocs. Which, for the full stack, makes about 677 klocs. Even if you
estimate a 50/50 ratio between real locs and comments/blank lines, this
still makes something like 338 klocs.
Is that enough ?-)
