hi navneet, nice to have you on the project. welcome. we needed one person for the expertise on accounting and related issues. still better, you are a programmer your self. the main reason I too am supporting python because (and please dont start a flaim war), having done enormus work on java and also off late doing quite a bit of work on python, I believe that python is much much more productive and generates easy to maintain code than java. I have done production planning softwares and also decision support systems for educational institutes. but I have been doing work on python for quite some time now, and feel that I should have gone to it much before. I have been hearing about how powerful and efficient python is and that satalites and mobiles use it etc. and even to the extent that international professionals in java are moving to python and to make the migration smooth they have jython which is a python port to java. but I found it all true when I started to use it myself. and now I also find wx python very good for gui. we can also combine python with the ncursis lybrary which is used for keyboard driven menus etc. even more, we can have an entire ERP system given the power of zope combined with python. so in future if the web idea is thought over again to be implemented, we wont have much trouble with python. I know it is also possible with java, but I will rate java one step below python and one step above c++ really if I were to choose between c++ and java I will choose java even in my sleep (try narko analysis on me *smile*). but same applies to python, I will certainly choose it over java. at least it holds true in this problem domain. On this same thread, I cross tested the same question and asked kenneth as to why python was chosen over java? and my answers and his matched. don't worry about customers touching the code. it will be as impossible or possible as it would be in java *smile*. any ways Please email me off the list and provide me your contact number. I am coordinating this entire project and planning the meet in the coming 7 days. regards, Krishnakant.
