Wow, I know C++ is great, but Python, not losing any of the functionality of C/C++ is more readable, half the coding, you can make windows apps with it (of course

), and you can program games with it (via pygame). I just love it, I''ve learned twice as much with Python as I did in half the time I learned HALF as much I know about Python as I do C++. It''s just so practical. Instead of - #include <iostream> int main() { cout<<"Hello world!"< Of course that''''s just my opinion, I could be wrong. -)(-Dennis Miller-)(-

Currently it''s just very slow. Often it''s not an issue though (if it''s used to code parts where very little time is spent)

Also, I think you should''ve given an example where Python is actually good, not pretty much equal to C++..

Does it correct spelling too

Heh, actually spelling errors can lead to subtle bugs in Python so one had better not make any typos. Since variables aren''t introduced like in C/C++, if you mistype a variable name it will create a new variable with that name.

somevariable = 5

...

somavaribale = 0

... #here something unexpected will happen, since somevariable wasn''t set to 0..

yes, python is a very intresting wee scripting lang.
I''m intrested in it from an intergation with C++ stand point, mostly after seeing it used with such great effect with Eve: the Second Gensis ( www.eve-online.com )

I''d expect that opengl could be used with python.

Currently, the main thing which intrigues me about c++ is that an auto object''s destructor is called as soon as it goes out of scope. In a language such as c, your code might read as: "open file, read file, close file." - the c++ equivalent would read "open file (and close it later), read file." Does python have this, or equivalent functionality?

As for this "print" business...

  #include <iostream>using namespace std;#define print oh_teh_nos,struct oh_teh_nos_t {} oh_teh_nos;template <class RHS>const oh_teh_nos_t& operator , (const oh_teh_nos_t& lhs, RHS rhs){  cout << rhs;  return lhs;}int main(){  print "pie pie ", 42, " something.\n"; // now shut up!}
