Real Time software is extremely hard to write well in any language. And genuine real-time is almost impossible in Python (and most other interpreted languages). Pseudo Real-Time is perhaps do-able. What do you mean by real-time? Do you have an example? Controlling some hardware for example? (How fast does the hardware respond - seconds, milliseconds, microseconds, less?) Then we can decide whether Python is even worth considering. (Even if it isn't suitable for the real-time bits it may be fine for other parts of the application such as the user interface) Or maybe you are using real-time to mean something different to that? In which case the opportunities may be greater. For example if you just mean something that responds to user commands while the user waits (like a word processor say) then its a very different story. I am not getting any help or idea you know i am just getting > a little unsure java is popular and my college classmates > are using java. I normally wouldn't consider Java good for real real-time either, but it is way better than Python for that. But there are many other options too. Can you fill us in a bit more on your background - other programming skills? project ideas? OS and hardware you are using? timescale available? Budget, if applicable. Anything of that sort will help. -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

You will not want to be writing real time software in Python, unless it's the control system for the steering system on a super tanker. This is very much the domain of languages like C, C++ or Java. There may be other more modern languages but I don't follow too closely so you'll have to do further research. Here's a starter anyway http://stackoverflow.com/questions/697916/what-languages-are-used-for-real-time-systems-programming. And I've just remembered http://www.erlang.org/ -- My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask what you can do for our language.

And I think the fact it didn’t seem unfriendly to you sums up the problem Alan. I came asking what I thought was a simple question. What I got for the most part was (I felt) somewhat patronizing and subsequently treated me like an idiot for not knowing the local etiquette. That’s certainly the way it seemed to me. This to me just seems to be something that happens more on the Unix/Linux oriented lists of this world which are not, as I said before, my natural habitat. > Mark commented on the top posting but even that was > a polite request advising you of the list etiquette. > It didn't seem particularly unfriendly? Again it may not have seemed unfriendly to you - but it did to me. Polite? Yes - but total overkill. Wouldn’t a simple “The preference for this list is to either embed your responses in the original message or to put your response at the end of the original.” and a link to the guidelines have been enough? > We do try to make the tutor list a safe place to learn > and ask questions, for beginners of every level and > background. (Although your comment about Python being > slightly Unixy-geek oriented is true enough, as it > is for most non MS specific programming languages.) My background is not MS. I’m from the IBM i midrange world. All I can say is that when I first got into PHP some years ago I found the community a little friendlier - and that was on lists that did not purport to be for newbies. I’m sure this list does a great job and hopefully if I have to come back again I’ll feel better about it. Right now my entire experience (excluding Laura who went above and beyond to be helpful) left me feeling like an ignorant child who has been chastised for not following rules he did not know about. Anyway I’ve wasted more than enough of my and your time on this - I will try to be better behaved in the future. -- > Alan G > Author of the Learn to Program web site > http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ > http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld > Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: > http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos > > > ___ > Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org > To unsubscribe or change subscription options: > https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor Jon Paris jon.f.pa...@gmail.com ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
