Apologies if this has been asked; I haven't yet Googled the archives. >From a brief email conversation, Guido pointed me to this newsgroup to ask the following questions:
"Is Python 'mature' enough to be considered the primary language for embedded systems? Is the performance there for real-time applications (eg avionics, real-time control systems) or is it still more suitable "...as a glue language, used to combine components written in C++" ?" And further: "Has anyone tried to shorten development time when porting code to a new embedded hardware platform, by trying to convert legacy code (C/C+ +/Ada) to Python?" I'm currently thinking that Python isn't there yet but certainly would like to hear any feedback. Your input is greatly appreciated; thanks! - Paulito -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
