I have been testing different tools for cvs, math etc and I am constantly amazed how many great tools and libraries there are for Python. SAGE, Mercurial as 2 outstanding tools and there a re excellent libraries fro anything you want, natural language processing, any kind of parsing, math, simulation, neural networks, genetic algorithms, data visualization etc.
And everythign just works, download and go! Is this a consequense of the language being so intuitive and easy to use and superwell documented? This then affects how people write code and what programmers are attracted in the first place. Being a bit of a fanboy here but I have never experinced such a satisfaction with a language before. Sure it can get better(I won't take that up in this thread do) but in general I want to give a big hug to GvR and the Python community. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
