I'm neither interested in python, nor in OO-programming, so don't copy me in on replies like you did with my ruby announcement, which you seemed to like. From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Newsgroups: fm.announce Subject: Python 2.0c1 - High-level scripting language. Date: 10 Oct 2000 17:42:12 GMT application: Python 2.0c1 author: Guido van Rossum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> license: OpenSource category: Development/Languages homepage: http://freshmeat.net/redir/homepage/892580003/ download: http://freshmeat.net/redir/download/892580003/ description: Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language. It combines remarkable power with very clear syntax, and isn't difficult to learn. It has modules, classes, exceptions, very high level data types, and dynamic typing. There are interfaces to many system calls and libraries, as well as to various windowing systems (Tk, Mac, MFC, GTK+, Qt, wxWindows). Newbuilt-in modules are easily written in C or C++. Python is also usable as an extension language for applications that need a programmable interface. Changes: Python 2.0c1 is Python 2.0 release candidate 1. All major reported bugs have been fixed. |> http://freshmeat.net/news/2000/10/10/971200024.html -- H.Merijn Brand Amsterdam Perl Mongers (http://www.amsterdam.pm.org/) using perl-5.005.03, 5.6.0, 5.7.1 & 516 on HP-UX 10.20 & 11.00, AIX 4.2 & 4.3, DEC OSF/1 4.0 and WinNT 4.0 SP-6a, often with Tk800.022 and/or DBD-Unify ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/languages/perl/CPAN/authors/id/H/HM/HMBRAND/
