The testamonials continue... I wrote a perl app a few years ago for a customer, about 10,000 lines. It produces a book in postscript from a database of info. They run it once a week. It crashed at random. After 6 months, I couldn't read my own code, comments or not. I ended up rewriting in Python and it has run without a hitch for about 2 years AND I can still read and understand the code. I hesitate to write a thing in perl anymore, and if I am forced to, won't support it. I've had Zope and numerous other programs in Python running without one crash EVER! Believe it! cheers jim "James W. Howe" wrote:
I'm working on a project for which Zope seems appropriate. However, an outside consultant for our client claims that the major problem with Zope is that it requires Python, and Python is much less stable than something like Perl. I haven't used Zope or Python enough to have counterarguments to this comment. I don't know specifically what stability issues this person may be referring to, but I would like to ask for feedback on this persons comment.
Thanks.
