Well, for one, Python requires a lot less code to accomplish the same
task:
The following is a very simple C# program, a version of the classic
"Hello, world!" example:
class ExampleClass
{
static void Main()
{
System.Console.WriteLine("Hello, world!");
}
}
Th Python equivalent is:
print "Hello, world!"
With the assistance of Mark Hammond's excellent pywin package, COM
interfacing is at least as easy as in other languages:
import win32com.client
xl = win32com.client.Dispatch("excel.application")
xl.visible = True
wb = xl.WorkBooks.Open(filename)
sh = wb.Sheets(1)
etc.
There are various GUI toolkits available. I've not done much with them.
