Re: [Radiance-dev] Python scripts for Radiance

My impression is that Python has become something of a standard in the research community, with tools like SciPy, NumPy, and SAGE widely used, though Perl has a library comparable to NumPy in PDL, and there is a SciRuby, There is nothing else like SAGE except for the commercial packages

Re: [Radiance-dev] Python scripts for Radiance

I don’t think it’s as awful as that; Python is a widely-known, widely-used, and well-documented language and freely available. I worry more about Perl, because it is so easy to create write-only code in Perl and this becomes a maintenance problem. On the other hand some Unix commands are

The problem that code solves is finding the name of the invoked command and getting rid of the Windows .exe extension. I'd write it a bit differently: from os.path import basename, splitext ... progname = splitext(basename(sys.argv[0]))[0] (or, at length) progfile =
