The graph goes like this. Matlab --- C++ -- Python Python being fastest. I am not sure whether i understand this statement right - the statement is flawed if you had taken either of the development times or the running times as the basis. But let me clarify it in my own terms : 'Good' C++ is the fastest above; if you write crappy c++ then the binary is huge and also the running times are NOT as one would expect from C++. C++ is a very tricky language, but once learnt, it is sheer ecstacy. I came to Python via the C/C++ route. Spent 5-6 years in C programming and another 3-4 years in C++ (overlapping with C) and then discovered Python. I have found myself most productive in Python and C. C++ is one language which takes a long time to get specialized in. C++ is ecstasy only if you are a master with templates and can work magic with them. Otherwise it is more like torture! The integration of Python and C/C++ is one of the most beautiful thing that man has ever created :P One gets to harness the speed(runtime) of c++ and the fast development time of Python. +1. I have not written C++ extensions but have written C ones using the swig wrapper. The C/Python API is really powerful. -- -V- Blog @ http://blizzardzblogs.blogspot.com ___ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers -- -Anand ___ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
Re: [BangPypers] Python use in IT service sector
My company is into DSP Design Consultancy and Tech Trainings, in the area of Digital Signal Processing, Digital Image Processing, and Front end VLSI space. For our kind of work Matlab is a good commercial s/w but it's once license would rip-us -off by 3 lakh Rs. Since mine is a self funded startup, we did not have money to invest so much. Hence I was looking for alternatives. Have you looked at scipy? http://www.scipy.org/ It includes a lot of packages for scientific computing and visualization. ___ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers

I have been in Corporate training for Python. The requests were as follows. Wipro - were starting a new project in telecom testing with Python with a team. Techmahindra - Telecom testing. Entire framework was about 20 people. MBT - Iron Python. As glue tool againg for testing. NetApps - Build automation tool. EMC - Jython based testing framework. TataElxsi - Testing framework on windows platform. In last two years some 20 freshers started learning python django plone with us and have moved to either Mahiti or Zeomega. All the real python careers for freshers that i know of have started with these two companies. More the merrier. Regards Srini.

Dear All, My name is Bharat Pathak and I own the company named Arithos Designs www.Arithos.com, we started one year back and I have become a big fan of Python. My company is into DSP Design Consultancy and Tech Trainings, in the area of Digital Signal Processing, Digital Image Processing, and Front end VLSI space. For our kind of work Matlab is a good commercial s/w but it's once license would rip-us -off by 3 lakh Rs. Since mine is a self funded startup, we did not have money to invest so much. Hence I was looking for alternatives. All my thanks and appreciation to originators of Python in inventing such a fantastic language. There is more to write but I would like to close.
