Python is nuthing but a scripting language. I think O'Reilly has a book or two about it.

Scott K Purcell wrote: But anyway what is Phython, A spelling mistake :-). Python is an interpreted language by Guido van Rossum, named after "Monty Python" and not after a snake. Its most striking feature is that whitespace is significant: instead of using braces to delimit blocks, you use indentation. Another thing that's characteristic for it is what might be called in Perl-land "there's usually only one way to do it", contrasting with Perl's TMTOWTDI, but potentially leading to less maintenance hassle down the read because while you might know five ways to solve a problem, the person whose code you have to maintain chose a sixth way which you have to understand. and where could I find out what it is, http://www.python.org/ and if it would be useful to me? Try it and see. Or post to comp.lang.python and/or search the Deja archives for that group, to see what other people's experiences with the language are.

Re: Phython?
Python is yet another scripting language. you might want to look at URL:http://www.python.org/ Not sure about the M$ stuff though.

Re: Phython?
Python is much like Perl but with clear syntax and simple to understand object model. They say Python progams run somewhat slower than Perl ones. There is JPython too ( www.jpython.org ). It is the Python which compiles to Java bytecodes. Therefore some packages of original Python cannot be used in JPython (if they refers to bynary libraries written in C++) but Java classes can be used instead. In fact, Python is good language but rarely used yet. - Original Message - From: Scott K Purcell [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Perl-Win32-Users Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 30, 2000 12:00 AM Subject: Phython?

Check www.oreilly.com That's a bit like saying "Perl is nothing but a scripting language -- I think ORA has a book or two about it". You can do Real Things in Python, just like in Perl -- for example, AFAIK Google and Infoseek use Python, and you can do COM or Tk in Python as well as in Perl.

RE: Phython?
From what I have seen so far, am I right to say that Perl and Python are actually quite similar, but Python is more for those who wants to impose strict discipline onto himself? If that is true, I would make my students program in Python if I were a lecturer... ;) Alan Swan. --- You are currently subscribed to perl-win32-users as: [archive@jab.org] To unsubscribe, forward this message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For non-automated Mailing List support, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
