Please, could you let me know what do you think about that?
Here is what I can come up with
- autoit like applications
I had a great success using pywinauto to automate a legacy application in
order to scrap data from all its windows and dialogs, including variable
parts (different dialog boxes, different number of tabs, different
controls enabled) that were dependent on other data. Simple "macro"
solutions would not have worked here, but combining pywinauto + Python
logic + sendkeys it was easy to do.
- licenses differ a lot, which makes it hard to combine different
packages
- a number of libraries is quite in-mature
I think that's not a problem with Python itself, but depends on the
libraries involved and their authors. Same would happen with other
languages too.
- downwards compatibility is sometimes lost
Most code written for Python 1.5 still compiles and runs without any
problem... I consider the compatibility record of Python quite impressive.
