that is not correct java is compiled and the VM interprets the code
from the programmers point of view java is a compiled languaje.

python is dynamic typed java is static
python allows functional programming as well as procedural, java doesn't
java is OO in the API, python is OO everywhere.

tons of other things

(Its early, I'm sure this will not be as funny at more decent hours).

Gavino, I suggest you take a very small problem, something like
computing pascals triangle for example, and write implementations in
both languages yourself.

I remember the days when I got all excited about Java (many many moons
ago when Java first came out). I brought a whole truckload of books on
it, even spent 5 days attending a seminar on the subject. To my great
disappointment, I never got very far with it. Not being a
"professional programmer" by training, I found it very difficult to go
very far with Java. Everything was so "un-natural" for me. So, I
felt back to my little C-corner.

Last year, I got a chance to attend a 5 day class on Python. Hated it
- for the first 5 minutes (what the ****, they are using white space
for what????) but from that pont on, never look back.

Not considering myself an advance Python programmer. Don't matter, I
am very proficient with it. It allows me to get things done - in a
whole lot less time then I have to do otherwise.

Learning new things about it everyday, finding new and usefull open
source packages for it everyday.

My Java books? They hit the trash dump long ago....

Being "interpreted" or whatever is a feature of an *implementation*, not
of a language.

FWIW, CPython (the reference implementation) is compiled to byte-code,
that is then executed by a virtual machine. And Sun's Java
implementation works the same.

Proof of concept only: http://www.boddie.org.uk/python/javaclass.html

If there were any really compelling libraries for Java that really had
to be available for CPython programs, I'd probably have worked around
the "platform issues" mentioned in the above document by now. However,
most people should just use Jython if they want Python and Java
interoperability, and gcj if they want to write Java for use with
CPython (just as the PyLucene people have done).

Thinks the first FAQs and tutorials about Python answer this question in detail.

Theoreticalls you'd start off thinking this:
* Java is a stiff typing language (as old C/C++/Pascal... and even Perl are also ).
* Python is a dynamic typing language - regarding almost all aspects.
From that each language can try to achieve some benefits of the other basic paradigm by becoming cramped.

Practically:
* you will type a Python programs >5x faster than the equivalent in Java.
* This is true, at least when we assume that test code has to be done for a good program anyway
(and/otherwise "pychecker" will neutralize most first-glance disadvantages of Python)
* Jave (typed code) ist executed faster. Yet Python is even faster when using little C, Pyrex, ...

That is probably what counts.

... and what do you think is in those pesky little .pyc files you may

can you open a commandline and start writting java code? no

the division between java (runtime) and javac is very explicit, the
compiler catches a lot of things, in python this is threaded in a
totally different way.

the pyc files are just a "catching" system for the common python
developer, as for the java developer the .class files are executable
code. In python noone runs the pyc files, the interpreter takes care
of this for you.

If not, then java lacks functionality -- but that (like *all* your
quibbles below) has nothing to do with the fundamental point: both
languages compile into an intermediate form which is then interprerted.

Again, irrelevant.

Do you mean "caching"?

as for the java developer the .class files are executable
code.

So are .pyc files.

In python noone runs the pyc files, the interpreter takes care
of this for you.

Python is more functional, but again this has nothing to do with the
question.

This is not true. It is one way to avoid having your source lying around.
The same can be done with .pyo...

this is an incorrect statement. we (the company i work for) only ship the
pyc files, and our customers _only_ run the pyc files. and our embedded
python contains no .py files. from our perspective, java .class files and
python .pyc files are treated exactly the same. and there is very little
difference between jar files containing .class files and zip files
containing .pyc files.

Open it with what ? A knife ?

and start writting java code? no

And ? Some implementations of at least Haskell, OCaml, and Common Lisp
are compiled, and still offer a REPL.

the division between java (runtime) and javac is very explicit,

And ?

the
compiler catches a lot of things, in python this is threaded in a

The pyc files are binary files containing Python byte-code.

>, as for the java developer the .class files are executable

And ? The fact that the Python runtime is smart enough (lol) to silently
call the compiler when needed doesn't make Python (well, CPython...)
more or less "interpreted" or "compiled".

No, thanks... I'll keep my snake !-)

And actually, I'm afraid I somewhat misunderstood your previous post - I
took it as meaning "Python has a REPL and you don't have to explicitelly
call the compiler so Python is interpreted". If that was not what you
meant, please consider this a typical case of "monday morning, not
enough coffein yet".
