Perhaps you have used GNU screen. It's on my definitive list of winners.

Python runs
Every C++ and Java programmer that I know, who have done a moderate sized
project in Python (thus requiring learning it's strengths) states that they
hope to never go back to C++ or Java.
I cannot comment on VB programmers, since I don't speak to them ;)

I use it, and see it primarily, as a Perl killer. It also does for Ruby
and our infernal shell scripts.
I've never considered using Python instead of VB.

I came from a VB/VBA environment before using Python. My experience has
been that Python has a lot more free, pre-coded tools within its community
to do the sort of things I do in my job (geometric algorithms, date-time
functions, processing and accessing lists of items, scientific programming,

A very lively feedback indeed. I appreciate most of the points discussed and
will persevere with the language until I understand the more powerful
aspects of it. Then I will try the GUIs that were mentioned.
Many thanks, Gord.

Python is an extremely multi-purpose language that is not dependant on GUIs or
similiar riff-raff. It can be run in DOS or DOS-like systems, but that is your
choice, not python's. Python ha

Not sure if this is a troll...I've seen several of these sorts of
posts on the list. But it seems innocent enough, so I'll bite. :)
I'm not sure Delphi is really one of the "big 3"...surprisingly
Java and C# don't make your list.

if you think those are the "big 3", you should perhaps start by asking
yoursel
As a complete novice in the study of Python, I am asking myself where this
language is superior or better suited than others. For example, all I see in
the tutorials are lots of examples of list processing, arithmetic
calculations - all in a DOS-like environment.
