Please don't compare PHP with Python... They are very different worlds. Maybe not all the Python's core functions are implemented in C, but Python is really a lot more efficient than PHP in every case you want to compare. If you "look inside", there's nothing to compare... they are extremely diff

Can Python installation be as clean as PHP?

2006-05-09 Thread Jack
I like Python but I don't really like Python's installation. With PHP, I only need one file (on Linux) and maybe two files on Windows then I can run my PHP script. This means no installation is required in most cases. I just copy the file and I get PHP. Extending PHP is fairly easy, too, just by co
