    ...programming a PC. While these developers are well familiar with C (by far the most popular high level language for embedded systems) a C program written for a standard desktop or server is quite different in style from one for a microcontroller. The compactness of Python programs is especially important, because embedded developers have, by necessity, learned to express their designs in a very small amount of code. Python's automated memory management also helps, because many embedded develope...

In 2007, in the context of the Armadillo anti-spam software project at Enovad, I was given the requirement that the software must run both under Windows and Linux. To do this, I had to re-train my team of seasoned Windows system developers to also be able to deliver a product on Linux. I chose to re-evaluate the tools and programming language available to me, and this led to my investigation of Python as a...

On Windows, they may be unpacked using the free WiZ tool (from the InfoZIP developers) or the proprietary WinZip tool. Many other tools for handling ZIP archives are available; any of them should work. WinZip can also handle the gzipped tar archives if needed, but be careful that the filenames may be mangled if you download these using a Web browser.

The textbooks that teach both subjects are mind-numblingly dreadful.

Please refer to the Python tutorial and the Descriptor HowTo Guide for more up-to-date documentation about classes and descriptors respectively. Unfortunately, new-style classes have not yet been integrated into Python's standard documentation. Fear not, however; many people have worked to provide useful information on creating and using new-style classes: Unif...

After some time, we found that Python's powerful simplicity enabled my colleague to improve his programming skills rapidly, to the point where he was able to continue development of the system by himself.

    ...programming techniques. Python supports efficient metaprogramming through powerful introspection features that allow programs to inspect and modify code at runtime. Java's introspection are by contrast quite poor and inflexible. Metaprogramming in Java requires writing preprocessors, which would have added prohibitively to the cost and complexity of implementing the ERP5 system. Another advantage that Python had over Java was that it could be used at all levels of the system, from core implement...
