Python is nice OOP language
Can you name apps? Afaik it is mostly used for a bit of in application
scripting and some webapps. But is it really a Delphi replacement? I doubt
it. What does it use for GUI btw?
I assume you are not kidding about the apps. IMHO smart (a package updater
written in python) save the recent release of SUSE 10.1 since no one could
get Yast to work properly. I'd guess there are thousands of app's both for
GUI and the web. It is my understanding that many of the KDE 4 apps will be
written in Python. Python uses wxPython (wxWidgets) and pyQT (QT) for all
the platforms.
If it made anysense to write another wrapper to wxWidgets, it would be
no problem to write an fpc wrapper for wxWidgets. Something similiar to
pyQT is already available, so what?
So in one sense Python's GUI is more up today than Lazarus's
GTK1. As a replacement Python only lacks a complete IDE. I would think the
Python community would argue that an IDE is a tool not needed. I of course
disagree. The only thing Python lacks is a proper compiler in all other
points it is a very close match (as I think many other OOP lang's would be).
Well, there is a "little" problem with python:
