Nice article.
but a few points:
<quote>
Why Would We Need Python?
If you are completely satisfied with how the
software in your
organization is created and maintained, then you
probably don't need
Python. But if you have a backlog of
requests, bug-ridden or
inflexible applications, stressed-out developers or
frustrated users,
then maybe a contributing factor is your
development tool. Python can
help you increase your development speed, power and
flexibility
</quote>
the 'bug-ridden' argument I disagree with. Just
because your software
is written in python does not mean its going to be
bug free. Bugs are
also a function of the complexity of the application
logic.
AND... like pasokan says "choose your tool
based on the
application. dont decide the language first".
The problem is not
always a nail... :)
