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...

I'm realizing I didn't frame my question well.
What's ***TOTALLY COMPELLING*** about Ruby over Python? What makes you jump
up in your chair and scream "Wow! Ruby has *that*? That is SO FRICKIN'
COOL!!! ***MAN*** that would save me a buttload of work and make my life
sooooo much easier!"
As opposed to minor differences of this feature...

I started writing this list because I wanted to have definite points
to base a comparison on and as the starting point of writing something
myself. After looking around, I think it would be a waste of time to
start writing yet another IDE and so am now thinking in terms of new
features/plug-ins for existing systems.
Right now I mostly use...

I currently have Python 2.2 and 2.3.4 installed. I want to install Python 2.4,
and erase 2.3.4, but retain 2.2, for I need it for my connectivity program.
According to the the documentation:
If you have a previous installation of Python that you don't want to replace
yet, use

Giudo has suggested adding optional static typing to Python.
(I hope suggested is the correct word.)
http://www.artima.com/weblogs/viewpost.jsp?thread=85551
An example of the syntax he proposes is:
> def f(this:that=other):
> print this
This means that f() has a 'this' parameter, of type 'that'.
And 'other' is the default value.

I see rotor was removed for 2.4 and the docs say use an AES module
provided separately... Is there a standard module that works alike or
an AES module that works alike but with better encryption?
cheers,

Just tried Ruby over the past two days. I won't bore you
with the reasons I didn't like it, however one thing really
struck me about it that I think we (the Python community)
can learn from.
Ruby has ... an issue with docs. That is to say, there are
almost none. Well, actually, there are some. For example,
the "PickAxe" book (google it),...

Hello
Out of curiosity, if I recompile a Python (wxPython) app with
py2exe, can I have customers just download the latest .exe, or are
there dependencies that require downloading the whole thing again?
FWIW, here's the list of files that were created after running py2exe:
myprog.exe

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it. ...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
