Using (string-count-str (get-url-as-string "http://docs.python.org/py3k/modindex.html";) "#module")
I show that there are 291 projects listed on that python page. But (string-count-str (get-url-as-string ""http://common-lisp.net/projects.shtml";) "/project/") tells me that there are 416 projects listed on http://common-lisp.net/projects.shtml And I don't have to scrape the Common Lisp Directory ( http://www.cl-user.net/asp/root-dir ), it lists 641 entries in Libraries/Tools/Software. So, yes, it would appear that the Python people are rather library starved compared to us Common Lisp users. I can definitely see why people would get frustrated using Python and be flocking to Lisp. ;-) Chris On 1/21/11 11:34 AM, Nick Levine wrote: >> I can't find any libraries. > > I think this is one of the most serious issues which is blocking the > growth of lisp use.
