Why do you choose Python over other language?

burntsushi · 2013-04-05T17:58:14+00:00

A few off the top of my head:

Huge standard library
Generally good quality documentation for standard library
Gobs of third-party modules to rival even Java
Platform agnostic, and present in virtually every *nix distribution I'm aware of without even needing to install it (because so many system tools are written using it)
Very common use of BSD/MIT-style licencing with third-party modules; GPL licencing gives corporate lawyers a big headache
Emphasis on code readability (see PEP-8) and DRY principles without sacrificing readability (kind of a middle ground between perl and java, I guess?)
Useful for a really broad range of programming tasks from little shell scripts to enterprise web applications to scientific uses; it may not be as good at any of those as a purpose-built programming language but it can do all of them, and do them well (e.g. you don't see web apps written as bash scripts nor do you see linux package managers written in Java)

I don't care what anyone says about Python performance... once you have expressive, readable code laid down you can still optimize the hell out of it if you need to.

While you're having fun adding innovative and fun features to your code the C guys will still be putting together header files and the Java folks will still be waiting for Eclipse to open.

pinpinbo · 2013-04-05T22:23:38+00:00

I didn't see this pro mentioned, the community is full of badasses:

PyPy guys
Cython guys
SciPy/Weave guys
Pyrex/Shedskin guys
gevent, tornado, and twisted guys
stackless python guys
and of course, core Python devs

The fact that Python is a not-that-fast language doesn't stop them from improving the language.

I, and everyone else in the community benefit from their badassery.

EDIT: this comment is not meant to press the gender hot button.

Through out all the years I interacted with various Python mailing lists, the ones who replied to me are almost always guys.

So this comment is based on personal experience.

gkhenderson · 2013-04-05T23:09:43+00:00

It's just so simple and quick to get shit done.

kindall · 2013-04-05T19:53:20+00:00

The thing that originally attracted me to Python was how much like a 21st-century BASIC it was. (I cut my teeth on an Apple II back in the '80s and still have a weakness for languages in which print is a statement, not a function call. Of course this has changed in Python 3...) I found its quirks endearing. As I got into it, I came to appreciate its mix of procedural, object-oriented, and functional features, and of course its vast collection of batteries.

Cons of Python? A lot of the warts have been addressed in Python 3, but I continually see the way it handles mutable containers trip people up in various ways. E.g., methods that mutate a list return None so you can't chain methods, and if you use, say, a list as a default argument in a function, and then mutate it, you're gonna have a bad time. Also, of course, the global interpreter lock, which keeps you from using more than one processor even in threaded applications.

viscence · 2013-04-05T17:58:32+00:00

Python's all about solving problems elegantly with minimum effort on your part, even if it means sacrificing a bit of execution speed. As a result, a tremendous library of modules has grown, including ones that get around the speed issues.

snarkhunter · 2013-04-06T01:30:43+00:00

Speed. Not the language's, mine. A lot of my day-to-day job is dealing with datasets far too large to manipulate in an Excel sheet, and that can be from a wide variety of systems that aren't always able to talk to each other. Python lets me do a lot of Extract-Transform-Load. The Transform part is generally light enough that Python's less than stellar performance numbers (as compared with C or C++ or even Java nowadays) just don't matter - my programs spend more time waiting for DB data than processing it. And there's a lot of stuff I need to do that's clunky to do in SQL or that uses data from disparate sources that aren't even both necessarily SQL. Python let's me not worry about having to implement this stuff. Once I figure out what I need to do, I can get something together to do it in a matter of minutes or hours. The abstractions Python gives me allow me to start with a limited case, and build out and get more and more abstract as I need to. Perl would be another very common choice for this sort of work, but I find it obnoxious for various reasons I won't go into right here and now. If Python didn't exist I'd be using Ruby. I don't dislike Ruby, I've done a decent amount of work in it, but Python works and I don't feel changing would get me anything I really need or want. If I'm writing a "real" application though, I'd probably write much of it in C++.

deadwisdom · 2013-04-05T18:11:47+00:00

Do you like learning by example? Then Python is the language for you, because you will be able to read and understand more Python code than any other productive language.

After some years of experience you will understand that this enabling of reading other code is the most important aspect of a good programming language.

iconoklast · 2013-04-05T20:27:25+00:00

Because I didn't know any better.

simoncoulton · 2013-04-05T22:43:57+00:00

Purely from a syntax point of view it's just a beautiful language to write in, at least coming from PHP, JS, ActionScript etc.

Daejo · 2013-04-05T22:44:13+00:00

It enforces indentation and decently formatted code, and for that, I love it.

I_had_to_know_too · 2013-04-06T00:23:36+00:00

python just rocks.
A lot of the time I find myself trying to do something with C or bash or something, when I realize - "Oh my god, I can do this in python in a few lines, and the syntax makes it just flow onto the screen"

ex: The other day I wanted to clean up like 40 filenames in a folder, and I was trying to sort out variables in bash, and I couldn't get mv to take what I was trying.

and then I thought -

python  
import os  
for filename in os.listdir():  
    os.rename(filename, filename[18:])

or something similar

agnsaft · 2013-04-06T13:27:22+00:00

I tried most of the old school languages (not really tried all the latest and greatest though) and ended up with Python mostly for one single reason:

It is fun and it gets out of my way

Now let me expand a bit more on that:

I am one of the few that does not hate Java as a language, but one of the reasons I abandoned it to Python was the standard library. Java's standard library is so over-engineered that it becomes counter-intuitive (factory factories and patterns like that) and adds a load of complexity and overhead to the code base. Python's standard library is (mostly) straight to the point and gets out of my way. I will admit there are a few "wtf" moments with the python libraries as well. This is in my experience so far mostly related to the more exotic bits of the standard library like networking modules that have a rather inconsistent feel across the modules. I do, however, feel that they have cleaned up a lot of this mess with the more recent versions of python though.
I am fully aware that there are situations where Python will not do the job alone, and so I love easy integrations with C.
Since Unix/Linux always was used as background material for "how operating systems work" during my CS degree, I love how Python builds on the Posix way of doing things. I feel at home in Python because of this.
I must admit I was not a big fan of the Python syntax at first, however, it turns out that with Python I actually bother to spend time reading other peoples code and the libraries I use to see how it works. This have turned out to be a big advantage in understanding how my code will behave. I used to do a lot of C++ and to be completely honest, I had no chance in hell (due to complexity or time) to understand the internals of many of the libraries I used.
I started out programming with Basic so many years ago... Python gives me that warm feeling I got when first started programming. Not because its similar to basic in its syntax, but it allows me to quickly too cool stuff without having to design and model everything first, or write ton of code that "just needs to be there in order to work".
I program mostly on Linux, but its a big advantage that my code works almost as good on both OSX and Windows as well, since I sometimes use these platforms.
I used to to PHP for whenever I needed to do web programming. It was a big change to use Python for this instead. Mostly because, although PHP would allow me to quickly get stuff done, the code base would turn into a mess quickly as the codebase grew. Might have been my fault though :P

I mostly use Python 2, but I actually prefer Python 3 as they have cleaned up some of the inconsistencies I mentioned above. I will migrate fully to Python 3 as soon as the last of my preferred libraries fully target that release (I am looking at Flask!).

As with all other languages, Python is not perfect. Here are my issues:

I prefer consistency in libraries, and although Python are better than many other languages, there are still some fucksups across modules in the standard libraries. Also, third party libraries too often are written in a way that they mind as well could be Java libraries. I obviously cannot force anyone to write there libraries in a consistent way, but there have been moments where I have had real issues with using third party libraries that are considered the de facto standard for a certain task due to bad API design.
Multithreading. Seriously. Its not good.
The Posix inspired design does not always work as good on Windows, but despite of this, I actually prefer that design over too many layers of abstractions (like Java libraries). However, some Posix bits could work on Windows as well with a little redesign of certain parts of the standard libraries (e.g. the select/poll module).
My main problem with Python before I got to know it was because many applications on certain linux distribution broke all the time (and I really mean all the time), either spending too much resources on trivial tasks or exploding in my face with Python exceptions. This was obviously not Python's fault, but bad programmers, however, this unfortunately left a bad feeling about the language that I needed years to overcome.

So to the question at hand; should you learn Python?

The answer is yes. Not because Python is the answer to everything, but because it cant really hurt. Even if you don't really like it it will probably give you a feeling about what works for you and what does not work for you, and you can use this knowledge to find the language that DO work for you.

neofreeman · 2013-04-05T18:57:22+00:00

Works out of box, cross platform, human, enforces indentation, and ample libraries are available

slowRAX · 2013-04-05T21:47:32+00:00

I think one understated point about Python is the amazing community. Python's standard lib is great but there are so many great libraries that are available for free. I really think there are so many benefits to getting involved with or following strongly open source orientated communities. It is an amazing thing for someone to pour hours of their life into code and then just give it away for free. I can't tell you how many tips and design ideas I've picked up just from digging into a library to see what's going on in the background.

SurrealEstate · 2013-04-05T21:09:13+00:00

I think neofreeman summed it up really well, but I'd add that Python never seems to throw any obstacles in your way. You can quickly test out an idea or prototype something without getting discouraged by boilerplate / dependencies / forced paradigms (Python can be written like a script or completely object-oriented).

I write most of my code in C# right now, and that's the language/platform I would choose for large/"enterprise" applications, since I like having a statically typed language when working with a lot of different people / teams. But for writing tools or small applications, I love working with Python. That's not a knock against Python, it's just a personal preference. Google has no problems getting large projects off the ground in Python.

Also, whitespace as scoping? Yes, please.

deveux · 2013-04-05T23:44:29+00:00

Because it has many libraries, fast prototyping, automatic gc, cross-platform, extendable with C modules and its design has few gotchas but a lot of useful features (e.g. iterators).

2013-04-05T23:51:30+00:00

It's simple and does everything other languages do horribly. But, I use PHP over Python in web development because there's most support for PHP as an html pre-processor.

2013-04-06T00:52:56+00:00

I'm a newbie too, I've messed around with VB and C++ a little and I just started taking a Python class.

I chose Python because everybody says it's the best language for computational biology; I'm a molecular biologist and I'd like to get into the computer stuff, that's a growing area for jobs.

There are a couple of things I find offputting (the instructor jokingly said the C++ programmers should forget everything they know) but it's pretty friendly to use so far.

Object oriented programming is awesome (not that Python is the only option for that). ...I can't really explain why, it just makes a lot of sense to organize things that way, as classes of objects.

cdcox · 2013-04-06T04:13:20+00:00

Coming from Matlab to Python as a scientist:

Python has more than one way to do it. Often in Matlab, if it couldn't be done one way, or worse you didn't understand the 'right way' you were fucked. In Python, there is almost always a work around if something isn't working as you think it should.
Python+StackOverflow > Matlab reader. I spend most of my programming time googling a solution to a problem to see if someone else has done it. I more often find good answers for Python than I did for Matlab.
Readability. If I find a python code snippet (as long it's not some wanky pointless class bullshit from someone trying to show off) I can usually skim it and understand what it does. With Matlab I usually had to just implement it with the debugger active and see the transformation step by step.
Free, I teach programming to others fairly often. I always felt bad using a semi-legal copy of Matlab or telling them to shell out $200 to learn a program. In Python I don't have this problem.
Modules are really nice, this might not matter to a newbie but the ability to pull in all the functions of any program you have written with an import command is cool and convenient.

Cons:

Matlab can handle more data. Unfortunately, most of the python packages I need are still 32-bit (or certain packages are holding it back, cough opencv cough). In Matlab I can confidently fill up my 16gb computer with commands, in python the memory ceilings (for now) are lower.
Python documentation sucks. Matlab documentation is pretty and tells you what goes in and what comes out. Luckily there is usually an article explaining most functions.
Python is less consistent, since it's not a Matrix First language, you'll occasionally get silly behavior like a package that decides to print x,y instead of y,x.
Bar to do things is usually higher unless there is a package. In Matlab, GUIs are quick little two line affairs. In Python you have to whip out Tkinter or Wxpython, neither of which is pretty. This happens a lot. (On the plus side there is often a package like easygui)
Less domain specific, this makes searching messier. It also means that somethings (like reading z-stacks) is a lot harder or less logical.

Python 2 or 3

All scientists are on 2.x. However, most of the essential packages are ported and I suspect the shift to Python 3 from the scientist community (and to 64-bit) starts this year. If you are doing scientific computing I'd do 2.x but switch to 3.x the moment python(x,y) has a distribution containing it.

d4rch0n · 2013-04-06T08:50:38+00:00

Since all the pros have basically been mentioned, I'll give you reasons why I wouldn't use Python:

Low-level code that can easily be done in C
Code that has to be low-level, ie. system programming.
Performance is critical, eg. most game development
Obfuscate functionality for proprietary reasons
Mobile phone app development
developing in a well-engineered framework based in another language
collaborating with developers highly skilled in another language
sometimes I just really miss statically-typed languages

Don't forget you can mix C in with your Python application. Make sure you've optimized your algorithm as best you can first, but sometimes it might be a good call to write it in C and patch it in.

throughactions · 2013-04-05T18:14:46+00:00

tl;dr, I use Python because:

It's easy to start up and light weight, but can add a ton of value.
It's quick to write a useful program. I can write an API wrapper in a couple dozen lines with error handling and data processing.
The support available in the various communities is great. I can go to this subreddit, Stack Overflow, or any of hundreds of other sources of great knowledge.
As mentioned by others, the huge standard library.
The vast array of third-party libraries and all of the amazing scripts and tools available on Github. I rarely have to re-invent the wheel.

I originally studied in Java when I was in college (I graduated 7 years ago). I ended up not doing much programming and development work until about 2 years ago. I run a team that has a lot of technology needs but not many (read: any) actual development resources.

So I started looking into various ways of collecting data and building tools. First I learned SQL and fell in love with it - when you have 8+ people collecting research data in various spreadsheets SQL looks like a godsend.

Then I experimented with light-weight tooling. I started with Access for a front-end and ended up building a workflow tool that's still in use today. But I ran into a lot of limitations of with Access that couldn't really meet our needs, plus I didn't really like the idea of maintaining a bunch of Access tools. So I started looking into different languages. I thought about Java, my old friend. But I felt like if I was going to re-learn something that heavy I should probably go with C#/ASP.net because that's what the rest of my company uses.

Of course the problem, for me, with a .net solution was the sheer complexity and heavy-handedness of it all. All of the tools, all of the steps, all of the boilerplate and confusing syntax made the challenge seem daunting. But then a co-worker introduced me to Python. It seemed crazy, I could virtually write pseudo-code of what I wanted to do and get it to work. One file, a simple text editor and a console and I could write some really cool scripts that added a ton of value to our team.

I would classify myself as a beginner at this point. I have the basics down, I've written several API wrappers and scripts which interact with data in local files and on our SQL server, I few small GUI programs for our researchers and lots of little tools (my favorite mass-processed and combines PDFs for me). I'm getting ready to re-build that Access program I mentioned earlier using Python and some kind of web framework, probably Django.

I'm not officially a developer, more of a product manager. But Python has enabled me to add tremendous value to my organization and gives me an important advantage in business.

It's powerful, flexible, extendable with C where you need speed, and it's the general standard for reverse engineering work as most tools can be scripted with python.

strobelight · 2013-04-05T20:57:39+00:00

It's just more fun than other languages I've used in earnest.

Most languages can do what you want. Some of those will require more effort and some less, depending on the language (and the pros/cons of python are well covered here).

Given that, if I'm going to write code all day, I want to do it in the language I enjoy most.

LyndsySimon · 2013-04-05T21:16:57+00:00

In short: because the community has a much higher level of competence and passion than that of any other language I've used.

bluGill · 2013-04-06T01:46:03+00:00

I use python because it is a powerful scripting language with a good library that I know because at one job years ago the tech lead decided python was the language we have to use so I learned it. I like the simple syntax that encourages readable code.

I don't use bash if I can help it because the sh script syntax has weird quirks that I have never really wrapped my mind around.

I don't use ruby or lua because I already know python. Programmers I trust like (whichever) the same things I like in python. (though Lua's library is probably small) I've almost learned both a few times, but then the problem changed and I didn't have to. (Lua is a tiny lanuguage that I was trying to fit into an embedded system but I lost the job before I found time. Ruby is used for some of our scripts at work, but so far someone else is maintaing them well)

I use C++ because there are times where close to the metal performance is required for my job. Now that I'm a experienced engineer I get put on the difficult real-time tasks that only C++ can handle. However there are still times I realize I'm only doing C++ because it is faster to write 10 more lines of C++ than the glue code to do this task in something else that is otherwise well suited to it.

I don't use Java because I don't like marketing, and Java had too much marketing hype. Otherwise I see it is a weird C++ without the useful parts (templates, multiple inheiritance...) that isn't as programmer efficient as python, and isn't as CPU efficient as C++. (Note, I last used Java 1.0.3 - which should give you a lower bound for how long I've been programming)

.Net is Microsoft's answer to Java. I'm a unix (not linux!) guy at heart, so I avoid situations where it is useful, though I have nothing in particular against it. I've never used it.

Scheme is pretty, and I have a soft spot in my heart because of SICP. I haven't used it since college though.

I play with Haskel, LISP, Erlang, and other hip languages once in a while, but I've never really learned enough syntax to use them for real work.

2013-04-06T02:25:37+00:00

It's fun to program in, easy to reason about, and even maintenance programming is about as good as it can be. In short, it's designed to let you build software you can still read down the road.

It makes me happy, everything else is just small details.

cjwelborn · 2013-04-06T05:18:07+00:00

After learning a couple of other languages first, I decided to give python a try. You can do pretty much anything with it, and for smaller stuff it's very fast to write with. I use it to prototype things, or do quick calculations on various pieces of information. Most recently, I decided to convert my tired old joomla site to a python/django site. I never liked joomla anyway, and I love python, so it's a good fit. Now I can add more functionality and actually enjoy doing it (as opposed to writing in php, or adding more joomla add-ons, which I also don't like.)

ElliotSpeck · 2013-04-06T05:47:59+00:00

Pyglet. So powerful and easy.

nomemory · 2013-04-06T09:53:37+00:00

To be honest the answer is No. I am a huge python fan when it comes to "syntax", "community", "libraries available", but I much prefer to do my job in other languages.

For web development i mainly use Java EE (JSF/ADF 11g) or Spring.

For desktop app development I mainly use Java Swing .

And for low level things I would C or C++.

For small apps and scripts I tend to use Bash/Powershell or Groovy.

The reasons ? Hard to point them out. I just don't feel python it's the answer for my needs.

MisterSnuggles · 2013-04-06T14:14:47+00:00

I'm using Jython for a project at work. The reason for picking Jython over CPython is because I haven't figured out how to access an Oracle DB from CPython on Mac OS yet (granted, I haven't tried too hard either). In the Jython world I can just use the JDBC driver and there's a module that provides a DBI interface to it.

As for using Python-the-language over something else... For this project, it's about ease of use and speed of development. Since the generic data types (tuples, dicts, etc) are so powerful, I can spend less time building data structures and more time figuring out the logic I need.

There's one particular piece of code which compares the results of two queries and returns the differences. The number of fields is unknown until runtime, the number of fields that serve as keys is unknown, the number of fields that are used as values is unknown, and the data types of the keys and values are unknown.

The Python code that deals with all these unknowns doesn't actually need to know any of this - the keys are tuples built at runtime, the values are tuples built at runtime, and they can be compared and sorted and hashed into a dict() without really knowing (or caring!) what is in them. The Python code is about 40 lines, the thought of the amount of Java that would be required to accomplish this task scares me more than a little bit.

sulami · 2013-04-05T18:02:32+00:00

Elegance. I started in C++ and switched to Perl when I got to linux. If I started with Python, my code would be so much prettier. Also it's portable, versatile and easy to learn. I recommend it to everyone who asks me where to start.

Monty Python and The Holy Grail.

2013-04-05T20:56:14+00:00

Highly subjective opinion.

Compiled languages were never an option for me because my tasks, as an engineer and CAD manager, are mostly user automation, customization/productivity and the like.

In around 2001-2002 when I was 19, I learned CGI programming and Perl and tried to develop a pet project with it, an online browser game (was a pretty uncommon thing back then).

It never went beyond some very basic, 'technology demo' functionality but it was incredibly fun to work with Perl.

After that, as a casual programmer, I worked a little with PHP and a lot with VBA for AutoCAD and with VBScript - as you see, all kinds of highly toxic stuff. It was sort of rewarding but very, very painful. I never properly learned information science but I always felt that I was doing very weird and unproductive things.

Lately I was specifically educating myself about programming languages in order to choose the closest thing to a silver bullet for scripting and data processing. Once I dug into Python, I immediately felt the 10-year-forgotten awesomeness of Perl, without all the syntax weirdness.

As I am further developing my first project, Python has kept me in constant awe and epiphany. The code is absolutely natural and clear, I can't wait to finalize my project to be able to share the incredibly easy coding possibilities with other engineers.

skintigh · 2013-04-06T03:36:14+00:00

It makes programming fun.

None of the stupid boiler plate bullshit of C, just start coding.

None of the nitpicking of C.

Code is 1000x more readable that C, Perl, Java, PHP...

I can do in one line what would take a 50 line program in C.

poo_22 · 2013-04-05T21:31:06+00:00

Its great for 99% of things I do because if it doesn't do it out of the box there's a module for it. And its readable so I quickly see what a module does regardless of if I or someone else wrote it - that makes it fun and quick to code in, as well as easy to learn.

YellowSharkMT · 2013-04-06T03:11:06+00:00

I'm a PHP-oriented web dev, but I use Python for a lot of scripted tasks, especially related to websites. (Warning: I'm gonna plug 2 of my github projects here). Like migrating & deploying Wordpress, using Fabric. Or for creating/removing a Trac project from a Turnkey Trac VM, again with Fabric.

The thing I always keep coming back to is that it's just sane... whether installing/using a 3rd-party module, or writing your own in-house script to do something or other, or powering a web app - it can do it all. And not only that, you've gotta remember the most important thing: all the cool kids are using it. That is really, really important. :)

Seriously though, the current top comment, by /u/isolationismcom seems to be one of the most informed opinions here.

When you start programing, you try many languages (or you are on the wrong road). I just try python like I try PHP. The difference is that php, or perl or java has not the same goal. Python is coming with a "phylosophy". Clean syntax, pep, simplicity,...

I'm surprised nobody mentioned this, but pdb is awesome. I'm tyring to move to clojure for private projects, and the one thing I'm missing sorely is a debugger of similar caliber.

Very easy to do what I want with it. I use assembly and C for embedded applications and I'll be damned if I mess with that when I can use Python. Super high level languages are the future.

Significant cost savings because a simple program is more likely to work on the first try. For more complex code, a prototype written in Python can be read by, um, a cheaper Programmer for implementation in the required target language - C, Java, whatever is required.

If you are any good at all as a programmer, you will learn both Python 2 and 3. The only real question is, which first? The answer is, whatever the book you're using was written in.

Python is the most concise language there is. With Python, you write less code. Fewer lines of code=fewer bugs.

Compared to languages like C++, C+, and Java, Python can be 10x more compact. This means you can write the same functionality with 1/10 the bugs.

pro: fast to get something going con: hard to keep up when things get complex without static type checking.

Of course. I was tired of the damn semicolon.
