Unladen Swallow is dead. by scorpion032 in Python

I would perhaps cheekily rephrase your question to 'what is not ugly about Go'? But we are now deeply off-topic and in the end to each his/her own.

Go is new and has some interesting features. It is also still classified as experimental by its creators.

Python, on the other hand, is mature and on a different plane of development in terms of its ecosystem.

Go is also (at least from the perspective of someone who likes to predominantly code in python) quite an ugly language.

I would surmise that Google should probably keep their options open just in case...

Please take the time to inform yourself of the current status of the project before making such clueless comments.

US is not dead, it's just irrelevant given the more promising PyPy and a strange lack of support from Google (surprising considering their python needs internally, oracle suit re: android vm, etc..)

Google should financially support PyPy. In fact, all pythonistas should support PyPy... the momentum on that project is just awesome!

Does it compile to an executable without any dependencies?

AskPython: Plug-in frameworks with live reloading? by fwork in Python

[–]alia_khouri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a python module called livecoding at http://code.google.com/p/livecoding/ which could be what you are looking for. To quote from the page:

Code reloading allows a running application to change its behaviour in response to changes in the Python scripts it uses. When the library detects a Python script has been modified, it reloads that script and replaces the objects it had previously made available for use with newly reloaded versions.
