Well, the only thing more annoying than off topic discussion is "meta" discussion on lists and folks passing judgement on other people's posts (ie. you should have x, your should not have Y... I shouldn't have this second doughnut, but you know what, i am gonna eat that *and* have a second cup of coffee). So i'll resist the temptation to reply to Luke in detail, who i did not realize was a moderator here.<br>
</blockquote><div>For the record, I'm not a moderator. I'm sorry if it seemed like I was flaming you, I just don't think this discussion is a bad thing so far.</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
Most of this has already been touched on in this thread ... But I would add that that very past point is a HUGE reason why i use python. For little pea-shooter scripts I don't want to have to know and apply advanced OOP concepts. Yet if you do know them and your project requires it... it is there. [snip] I like to dig right in and Python is good for that for sure.<br>
