A friend just said something to me over google talk which I found funny.Paul: diarmuid got the multimedia assignment working in 45 mins in python :P Paul: well for text anyway Paul: essentially the same amount as it took him a day to do in java yesteraday I showed that guy a little bit of Python last week. He seemed to like it. I didn't realise he started using it though :-) PS: I started messing with Trellis. Why did I not know about this before!!
Aye,It's quite good alright, I really like how easy it makes things, especially file io. In Java it's all BufferedReader this, DataInputStream that combined with overly complicated loops to read in the file.
vs python fileObj = open(filename) contents = fileObj.read()It really annoys me that colleges push java so much. Because it's really horrible to work with, especially if you're only doing small applications with it, which is what college assignments generally are.
