Re: python scalability

Tim Mitchell wrote:
Hi All,

I work on a desktop application that has been developed using python
and GTK (see www.leapfrog3d.com). We have around 150k lines of python
code (and 200k+ lines of C). We also have a new project manager with
a C# background who has deep concerns about the scalability of python
as our code base continues to grow and we are looking at introducing
more products. I am looking for examples of other people like us (who
write desktop apps in python) with code bases of a similar size who I
can point to (and even better talk to) to help convince him that
python is scalable to 300+ lines of code and beyond. I have looked at
the python success stories page and haven't come up with anyone quite
like us. One of my project managers questions is: "Are we the only
company in the world with this kind and size of project?"
I want to say no, but am having trouble convincing myself, let alone him.

If you are involved in this kind of thing please get in touch with me.

Thanks,
Tim

It'd be 1500k lines of C if not for the 150k of python ;->
