I can't.

Have a snek instead.
And use Python 3 instead of 2 if possible.

>>59567077
I will

Python 2 is ded

I can't.

Python may not be the best at anything, but it's #2 in a lot of things.

It's good for beginners, or for when you want to quickly throw something together without trying to squeeze every tiny bit of optimisation of of your code.

In certain fields it represents the vast majority of commonly used tools (e.g. bioinformatics).

Don't bother even touching Python 2. It's roughly 10 years old at this point and should only ever exist in legacy code.

>>59567243
Is python the GOAT?

It's just seems so versatile and useful for literally every practical application.

>>59566866
learning too many languages just means you'd never know enough with any specific language to do anything actually interesting

This is such a retarded thing. People can shit all they want on Microsot, but at least the .net platform is guaranteed to have backwards compatibiity forever, even if it means keeping redundant and bad code.

Or you could just use a compiled language, so only the developer would care how to compile the stuff.

Python 3.5 code does not run on 3.4. Why do you act so surprised that an older version of the language does not support new features?

>>59568528
I honestly don't understand people who think this is an issue.
The worst thing about meaningful whitespace is that commenting out an 'if' requires me to also change the indent level of the block.

Life is meaningless.

Python 3 is versatile as fuck, it's used for /sci/ worthy simulations, the backend of sites like twitch and youtube, it's the core of civ4, eve online, the unity engine, blender 3d and so much more. hell, python 3 is a requirement at my uni cs defense course.

>>59568911
They changed between 2 and 3, not within python 3 branch.

>>59566866
You can learn it in an afternoon. What does it matter?

>>59566866
Its syntax will make your eyes bleed if you've learned any other languages.

>>59566866
No reason NOT to. Everything is reasonable to learn. It's just how you apply it that matters - using python for large scale projects... is okay, as long as it's embedded and not the main language.

>>59566866
Dynamicly typed
>Into the trash it goes

>>59569728
But it's strongly typed, so what's your point?

wtf?

you want to learn python go ahead and do it

His point is that dynamically typed languages are TRASH and he is RIGHT. So Python, into the TRASH you go.

Thing is, it is really straight forward and fairly forgiving but many "hard-core" coders feel that it may become spaghetti because of its leniency, but DESU they're a bit scared that many people will learn coding and their precious archaic C++ will be useless.

Backwards compatibility is something built into every compiled language since the dawn of computing.

The fact you have to establish and package several versions of a python VM with python code is fucking retarded for software you want to be portable.

Just because MS does it with their redist packages doesn't mean it's a good idea.

>>59573059
Backwards compatibility is why people still use C89

As it was mentioned earlier, the only reason not to learn Python is the case of you being an lgbt faggot.

Use Python if your design calls for libraries which are only maintained for Python (which is very common). It takes like 5 minutes to learn the syntax. You're bound to fuck up your 'self's and colons the first time, though.

>>59566866

>>59566866
There is no good reason when other high level languages with better performance, implementations, library support, tooling, jobs in the real world unlike academia etc pp exist.

>>59573054
>look, muh tetris, it has gaymes
To be fair, frets on fire is a grade above that, but it cheats with using midi notes and still recommends psyco (which is dead btw).

Majority of higher paying jobs look towards Front-End or Back-end JS. Python and PHP are a rare hit or miss. Many companies I've applied to are looking for C++, JS, Java, and/or SQL.

Autistic indentation rules turn what should be a personal choice stylistical thing into a life-or-death code scoping thing.

I would suck the dick of a million aids-infested niggers to use a python that used braces like every other sensible language.

>>59574805
My point is, Python doesn't do anything using much processing power.
However, there are things even in 2D games, even in roguelikes that even PyPy can't do.
