I can test/debug the application (with suitable simulations of I'm interfacing to hardware) in Windows, WinSCP it over to the SBC, and presto, it works!
Absolutely love that ability. ![Jig | [Dance]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/jig.gif)

I had to deploy a project locally because it wasn't online and had to make some API calls. My part of task was in Java. I could never get the python project running due to error upon error of unresolved dependencies reported by Python package manager or PIP (or whatever it is nowadays).

because, you know, Lua is my favourite scripting language.

A language with significant white space?! 
I took a couple of courses in it, but have never actually have any project where it was required.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Yup, that whitespace thing is the single most stupid design decision in a programming language made... 
|
|

On the contrary, I love that feature.

Yet.
(No, I have ... I'm just making polite conversation)

Nor do I use PowerShell.
We have a Python script which was developed by a third-party contractor which I have been able to make simple fixes to, but I have no interest in actually learning the language.

|

there are some in my org that say it's the best thing since sliced bread. my understanding of it is that it's just a syntax glue for libraries written in things like c++.
I have no want or desire to learn yet another scripting language. same with powershell, have to use it occasionally, but no desire to learn it's scripting language.

'Xactly. That's my impression as well. As always, it still comes down to someone still has to write the modules.
I laugh (to myself, not out loud) whenever my boss tells about how his son took a class in Python and developed a whole AI system...
I imagine it was something along the lines of:
import WidgetCoAI
WidgetCoAI.Run()
This morning it occurred to me to wonder whether or not Python modules can be developed in D.

that's about how I see it also

Many people say that python is quite powerful in Big Data and Machine Learning, can't say for sure because I haven't used it. But it is something I am starting to consider because of a possible pet project... Let's see what happens

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

If needed or helps, I have put up basic Python samples for beginners on my blog/github.

Good to know. Thank you

Earlier, I used to code on python too much. Now, trying to get away as sometimes solving versioning and environment issue takes longer than actual business problems.
Anyways, its a lovely language. you just type things in plain English and it works!!*

I wait until there mature and time tested. Languages I'm wanting to learn; Cobol, RPG, PL/1, ADA, Fortran and Pascal.
|
|
|
|
|
PL/1 and Easytrieve used with ROSCOE. Brings a lot of memories... 
|
|
|
|
|
If I remember right PL/1 wa my first language I learned in college.
|
|
|
|
|
Trust me, you don't want to use RPG. And not so sure about PL/1 either.
Ada is fine, though it is hard to get a useful compiler without spending a fortune.
And while Fortran is better than FORTRAN, it is slowly but surely being replaced by Julia, IMHO.
And I absolutely love programming in Pascal, it is my everyday go-to programming language that runs just about everywhere...
|
|
|
|
|
I used Pascal i college and at the time loved it, but haven't used in since. Got into C and it's derivatives very early and stuck with them.
|
|
|
|
|
I've worked in COBOL, RPG, PL/1, Fortran, and Pascal, but not ADA. Also lots of assembly on many platforms. Now mostly C (some C++, c#, and Java). I've only played a bit with Python. Did not like it much.
|
|
|
|
|
Started to learn Python and wasn't real impressed with it either.
|
|
|
|
|
It's my primary scripting language.
Pros: clean syntax, "one way to do things", availability, documentation.
Cons: Dynamic type system, pip (package manager), too many language changes, Python 2 to 3 disaster.
All in all, much better than Javascript or bash, but nothing to write home about.
|
|
|
|
|
I know I have never used it.
I would have to go out of my way to learn it, thus use it. Perhaps, someday?
