Python Notes
March 30th, 2007[ Software Development ]
I’m taking python, the language not the non venomous snake, for a test drive of late. One of python’s core tenets reminds me of something some guy once wrote. Mister python says:
“By philosophy, Python adopts a somewhat minimalist approach. This means that although there are usually multiple ways to accomplish a coding task, there is usually just one obvious way, a few less obvious alternatives, and a small set of coherent interactions everywhere in the language.” (quote from Learning Python)
I wish I’d wrote that in that previous post because it’s certainly another perq of the approach of building the smallest API footprint possible. Doing so makes the framework simpler to use and accelerates a developer’s ability to familiarize themselves with it.
