I agree with you, and I don't understand why so many people insist in "banning" the word "Boo" in this list. What's the problem guys? Is this a taboo or something? Isn't this list open for discussion of all things related to Python? Isn't Boo related to Python? And if you think it is not "related e

Guido & Optional Static Typing

I don't understand why this discussion on optional static typing came up right at this moment. As far as I know, it has been discussed many times in the past, and there even was a SIG that simply died... but it seems that it never was something of much interest to python developers (that's my impre

The IDEs you've been looking at have no visual GUI designers. For that, you can check Boa Constructor or PythonCard. These two are based on the wxPython toolkits. There are other commercial IDEs based on QT but I cannot comment on these cause I've never used them. Visual Python is a plug-in for Vi

Perhaps you should ask yourself why you like Python first, and then you'll probably have an answer. I'd say that Python is all about productivity. You can get more done in less time and with fewer lines of code because it's more consice, flexible and expressive. It's also very clear, easy to write
