There's nothing more to add - just some remarks.
|
|
We are running several production processes that are mainly
|
|
based on Python in several ways - we use use Python
|
|
as middleware component for combining databases like Oracle,
|
|
workflow systems like staffeware, Corba components ....
|
|
Are systems consiss of several thousands lines of code and
|
|
the code is still manageable. Have you ever seen a Perl
|
|
script with a thousand lines that has been readable and
|
|
understandable ? And speed has never been a real problem
|
|
for Python. Ok - Perl's regex engine seems to be faster
|
|
but not the whole world consists of regular expressions.
|
|
Python is in every case more open and flexible for building
|
|
large systems - take Perl to hack your scrips and build
|
|
real systems with Python :-)
|
|
|
|
Cheers,
|

Andreas
