General thoughts on python, /g/?

As if there weren't enough fucking opinions about python already out there.

And now dict memory usage has been cut in half compared to 2.7, but 2.7 babies still won't upgrade. Memory usage isn't important in programming, right?

Bad developers are bad.

What you working on?

I'm making a script that you can run in the background which lets you enter in a thread and your res, it scans the thread every few mins and downloads any picture in the that matches your res. Good to build your wallpaper collection. Or you could set the res to any and download whole porn threads I suppose.

It's easy to learn and works well for many things.

perfect sidekick language

Autismo

It's not as good as $PREFERRED_LANG

>using python at all
>worrying about speed or efficiency

You must choose one.

>>58130077
Sorry, I don't use languages with overly strict whitespace delineation.
>forced code style
No thank you.

Better than Lua, at least

>>58130712
i bet you do super important work

>>58130765
It literally isn't. Lua's most popular interpreter is an order of magnitude smaller and faster.

Fuck off. It's bad enough I have to write 'self' in every class member function. Now they want me to put brackets after every print.

>>58130858
thats really the only difference you know of isn't it

You might want to inform the nitwits at NASA and Google

Python is a great high level language. Especially for penetrating.

Terrible syntax

Therefore unusable.

It's a shame, really. It has a lot of support; everyone's using it. If there was a good simple bracketed (c-style) to shit (py-style), it would be my main language.

>>58130786
Its definitely more important than anyone using python would be doing.

>>58130712
Same desu

>>58130765

> Better than Lua

rofl

No.

>>58130077
Good for beginners and for quick scripts.

>>58130872
Yea those are built off BLAS, and all the calculations are vectorized.

The python part isn't fast, it's just convenient.

>>58131130
Agreed, lua's a great scripting language. Super simple, and can be integraded with C if speed is an absolute must.

>>58130077
Strict whitespace sounds terrible, but I'm sticking with it because it has a module library the size of a porn collection.
