Python Poll

[Emmanuel Jeandel]

Hi there !

I wonder whether s.o has some statistics about : What is python used for
?

I would suggest :

i. Scripts (Bash-like)

ii. Web (CGI Scripts/ Zope)

iii. Teaching

iv. Numerics

v. Small apps

vi. Bigger ones

I think some statistics could be useful to see where the interest is,
who are your users, what they're interested in (the discussion about PEP
238 seems to me as there are many people that use python for numerics;
if the majority use python for choices i/, ii/, iii/, and even v/ and
vi/, i think this proposal would certainly have been rejected). Can s.o
do some statistics ? (a poll in python.org could be a great idea)

Regards
Emmanuel


$dc
35 4 / p
8
^D

$ocaml
         Objective Caml version 3.01
# 35 / 4;;
- : int = 8
# ^D

$python
Python 1.5.2 (...)
>>> 35 / 4
8
>>> ^D

Where is the problem ?
(Ok, it's just for fun, i know where the problem is...)
