Python secure?

Hi All,

Could someone tell me just how secure Python is if compiled to an exe? Is it
more or less secure than using some other language?

Thanks

In my experience, the security of a product is due to the programmer and
not the language. The language will only make it more or less prone to
software flaws. Of which a secruity flaw is just an exploitable
software flaw. Do your error checking and put in place *many* checks
and balances and it'll all be fine.

Tell us how you define secure if you want a meaningful answer.

If you want a meaningless answer then Python is more secure than a
Ferrari in some circumstances.
