well, it's no longer so compelling ...
python is much more regular than perl. i have often thought of
modifying the perl TMTOWTDI to TOOFWTDI [there's only one fuckin way
to do it] to describe python.
so, in a way, this makes python more maintainable than perl since you
are not dependent on a programmer to make good design decisions at the
start. however, it also is like programming in a straight jacket if
you are used to the freedoms that us perl programmers take for
granted.
one size does not fit all. sometimes c++ programmers can make an
easier transition to python than to perl.
a particular pervisity of mine was to write a perl test and use python
to grab the cgi input, correct it, and return something meaningful. i
went back to perl shortly thereafter since it fit my working methods
better.
