Python Take II

Ok.

Here is the verdict. Python simply rocks.
I am going to move one of my project from C/C++ to full Python.

There are a few things that makes Python a real magnet to programmers like myself :-

i - enforcement of readability and tabbings
ii - unit testing is naturally the way of python, each module is developed and tested easily
iii - rapid development for "engine" type of development is fast
iv - superior basic types, like list, and dictionaries that are iterable
v - oreilly python books are all pink (hehhaha, no relevance to edison chen pink mac)
6 - calling C dlls is a walk in the park
7 - works on both windows and linux

I have 3 books in my collection now, Learning Python, Programming Python and Python Cookbook. The cookbook series is a must if you are moving to a new language and you are an experienced programmer. It beats scavaging the internet for junks codes written by amatures, cookbook codes on the other hand are of excellent quality.
