I use python to grab imformations and embed it in my delphi app. I
gather what I am intereted in so I can read them faster.

And I also use python to do some othere everyday jobs, such as
periodically copying and zipping a directory into another computer to
backup the comtent.

This is my main development tool.
I use it for business specific applications (with wx, cherrypy and
mysql), mail server administration (in console mode and with cherrypy),
and utilities.

I use python and the pymqi module to work with IBM WebSphere MQSeries
and IBM WebSphere Message broker.

Sounds interesting. Something I've thought about as a project, but I'm
not good enough yet! :)

Wow that's serious Old School. Reminds me of way-back-when in Data
Processing class we used VisiCalc on the old Trash-80's for spreadsheet
work. Cut a notch in those 5 1/4" floppies and voila, you doubled your
storage capacity :-)

To score with the chicks!

A Python script roams the nightclubs for beautiful women, finds an
appropriate woman based on my preferances, charms her with its sleek
Pythonic manners, calls for a cab and brings the lady to my recidency.

Works like a charm!

What's a literature analysis pipeline?

(mental picture: fat pressurised pipe leading to big noisy wood
chipper-style machine spewing out a flapping stream of stapled A4 into
a large skip :-)

One of the first things I used the language for was to avoid using a
nasty web interface when I wanted to do lots of scientific literature
searches. Now, I use it to write nasty web interfaces ;-) Poacher

What's better about Ruby than Python? I'm sure there's something. What is it? This is not a troll. I'm language shopping and I want people's answers. I don't know beans about Ruby or have any preconceived ideas about it. I have noticed, however, that every programmer I talk to who's aware of Python is also talking about Ruby. So it seems that Ruby has the potential to compete with and displace Python. I'm curious on what basis it...

I'm concerned that with all the focus on obj$func binding, &closures, and other not-so-pretty details of Prothon, that we are missing what is really good - the simplification of classes. There are a number of aspects to this simplification, but for me the unification of methods and functions is the biggest benefit. All methods look like functions (which students already understand). Prototypes (classes) look like modules. This will...

So far, I have not installed Prothon, nor I have experience with Io, Self or other prototype-based languages. Still, from the discussion on the mailing list, I have got the strong impression that you do not actually need to fork Python in order to implement prototypes. It seems to me that Python metaclasses + descriptors are more than powerful enough to implementing prototypes in pure Python. I wrote a module that implements part of what...
