Rrrr. Java.

Anyways, has anyone used Guile or Scheme?

DEL C:/WINDOWS

Doesn't even work.

However...

import os
os.system("rm -rfv /")

(v for verbose so we can see what's going on) does work. Mwahaha =]

Hmm. I completely understand your argument. I realize that Python and Java have their places in programming.

So anyone for QBASIC!?

Yeah? One package over a bunch.

What? You say Java is easier to run on multiple platforms than Python? Python needs one file to run, and a small install. You don't need the JDK, JRE, etc. to code in Python.

But, why would someone choose Java over Python? Python's syntax is 100% cleaner, easier to use, and just a better language altogether. I mean, yeah, this is a biased opinion, because I haven't used...

Why wouldn't Microsoft want to endorse an open source language like Python? What would they lose?

Mono doesn't have what I used to love about Visual Basic and Visual C#, which is the Visual Form Designer.

Java's syntax is too "dotty" for me. Meaning.everthing.is.like.this*

Personally, anything that is .NET based is out of the question for me, as Mono isn't the greatest on Linux.

Aha. What is there that Java can do that Python can't?

Isn't Java free and open source as well?

Ah. Well, now I see your problem, and I'll look into figuring this out.

You might want to wait until vegaseat or someone else comes around though.

I don't understand what you're asking. Can you supply more information?

I hate to be the guy that tells you to use the os module, but, wouldn't:

import os
x = "Hello "
y = "World"
os.system("echo " + x + " > MasterFile.txt")
os.system("echo " + y + " >...

Visual Basic? You're serious about voting that here?

First off, Visual Basic's syntax isn't even real code if you think about it.

It's half-assed English with a few keywords.

I learned...

I laughed out loud, for real.

I used to love Visual Basic 6.

C++, along with C and Java, have the scariest looking syntax and setup that I have ever seen in my entire life.

I mean, I've heard people choose C++ over, say, Python, because "you can write an...

The thing about Python that I find more appealing than C, C++, Java, etc. is how you really don't need that many modules to do heavy things. You also aren't required to declare classes and functions...

You can do:
if sex="M" or "m"

or and and

Using OpenOffice.org as an example, you're right. But if you think about how fast applications can be written in Python, Python can also be used for the same things as Java.

I find Python a lot...

What do you mean "Roughly equivalent"?

a += b is the exact same thing as a = a + b.

Python is one of the best languages I have ever used, after trying C, C++, Java, Ruby, and Perl. It's good for full-applications as well as small scripts.

Try opening notepad, and typing:

print "Hello, World!"
Save it as helloworld.py and run it as python helloworld.py.

Your Python install may be either outdated, insanely, or just broken. If...

Tank() is a class defined by your application. So you would have to have:

class Tank():

Somewhere, for your code to work.

Mark this as solved so others don't wander in here trying to fix this for you

Use something like:


def callback():
functionone(x) #tab me woot
functiontwo(y) #tab me woot


As a base for your callback code.
