- Significant use in certain applications areas: * Web programming (common frameworks include Django & TurboGears) * Scientific and numerical computing (see SciPy and Numeric) - Large "batteries-included" standard library, with a large number of third-party libraries also available - Used by Industrial Light and Magic, Google/YouTube, and other big names (http://www.python.org/about/success/) - A very clean syntax and elegant design, compared to other languages Cheers, Chris -- http://blog.rebertia.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
