Python

SkyKast · Mar 10, 2009

Has anyone heard of Python? Its a programming language and its kinda new. I am taking a class on it and its pretty cool but what can it be used for and should I but my effort towards learning a different language instead?

If anyone knows python I'd enjoy it if anyone could share a program or two of theirs.

Isn't Python used for games? Or is that a different language?

Eve online is written in Python so I'm not sure what your definition of simple is.

Python is a good beginner's language as it is simple to use and the interactive interpreter is useful. The main drawback to the language is speed since it is interpreted, but that shouldn't be much of a concern for beginners. I have not used it personally, but PyGame is a popular library for programming games in Python.

The 'logic' of BF2 is also written in Python.

New? Didn't it appear in the early 90's?

Anywhoooooo, I've been thinking about looking into it. Mostly because it's a good name.

Python is capable of doing anything computer related for the most part, e.g. web development, gaming, robotics, space control... It is fairly new compared to some other languages, it's really growing in popularity these days. Python was the first language I started out with, teaching myself was no problem because they have tons of great tutorials/documentation already available. Some task are better done in a compiled language for speed though. I still love Python though.
