Re: PyGTK vs. wxPython

Personally, I like pyGTK more because the docs are better. There's nothing I hate more than trying to use an API that's poorly documented, and wxPython's is horrid. The API docs are for C++ with an occasional comment about Python, and the examples are all done with an obsolete API that has since been updated. I've found wxPython very frustrating for these reasons, whereas PyGTK's docs are up-to-date and well done, easy to work with. Maybe the wxPython people think their docs are good, but likely they've forgotten how well they already know the API. They need to take the time to update them. Mike -- Michael P.

Re: Getting into Python, comming from Perl.

I'm on that point where you resolve problems without thinking on HOW you'll do it with that language but only on the problem itself. I code in perl and C all day. Python is a very nice escape for me. Since Perl 6 started I've been following it. The conclusion I have is they're making a whole new language and I'll have to learn it. This being said and, since I've to learn a new language, I've started thinking in a new language. I've noticed Python is getting more and more developers and many projects are being made. Perl6 seems to be taking its best features from Python, so I'll just cut through the middle-man. ;-) I've tryed to use python some times but I get frustrated very quick. I get myself many times needing to figure out how to loop through a list, declare an associative array, checking how to pass named parameters to functions, and simple things like that. What I would like to know is if anyone had these problems and if you can share that experience with me. I'm trying to minimize my frustration :) Sure, happens, but it happens with any new languages. Keep using it, and you'll get over it. Mike -- Michael P.
