that we use and Python is kind of on the chopping block because I'm<br>
the only one using it so far. Basically, it would mean that no new<br>
development would be done in Python.<br>
<br>
What I need to do is show that Python is a good tool and it should be<br>
in our toolbox. The other language that would be used instead of<br>
Python is Perl. Perl is currently used more in our dept. I can't say<br>
I'm a big fan of Perl, but I'll use if I have to. I'd prefer to use<br>
Python.<br>
<br>
Here's some of the reason's I think we should still use Python, and<br>
maybe I could get some other reasons from you guys. Note: We primarily<br>
use Perl and Python for web application development, but it also used<br>
on servers too.<br>
<br>
- Clean easy to read syntax<br>
- Easy to learn<br>
- Object Oriented as needed<br>
- Large community<br>
- Multi-platform<br>
- Fits in your head<br>
- Batteries included<br>
- Large library(Cheese Shop)<br>
<br>
Anything else?<br>
