"Er python noe tess?"

[zeitgeist]

Det hender folk avskriver Python som et "script språk" (i betydningen shellscript med Wonderbaum, sjalusi, breie felger og diger spoiler). I slike situasjoner gir Google et godt svar (på dette som så mye annet).

 

Og svaret er så godt at om du lurer på om du bruker tida di på rett språk, så kan du begynne å lure på noe annet

 

Where is Python used (at Google)?

• The Google build system is written in python. All of Google's
  corporate code is checked into a repository and the dependency and
  building of this code is managed by python. Greg mentioned that to
  create code.google.com took about 100 lines of python code. But since
  it has so many dependencies, the build system generated a 3 megabyte
  makefile for it!
  
• Packaging. Google has an internal packaging format like RPM.
  These packages are created using python.
  
• Binary Data Pusher. This is the area where Alex Martelli is
  working, on optimizing pushing bits between thousands of servers
  
• Production servers. All monitoring, restarting and data
  collection functionality is done with python
  
• Reporting. Logs are analyzed and reports are generated using Python.
  
• A few services including code.google.com and google groups.
  
• Martelli: I lead Production Systems, which includes parts of all of the above and yet more stuff (account management, network verification, etc etc) -- done mostly in Python, but with substantial helpers in C++ as well

ja, python er et veldig nyttig programmeringsspråk.

 

Begynner å bli lei de programmerne som synes python er et ufunksjonelt lekespråk, for det er det ikke!
