On the subject of reasons for learning Python, this article by Eric Raymond is old but makes a strong argument: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/3882.
Hi there, I'm trying to promote my online Python course as HPU this Spring, and I'm wondering what people might think is the strongest argument for learning Python? At the moment I kind of have a mixed back of using it for animation, web development and other esoteric thinks like natural language. I think a big selling point is the huge range of libraries available, but I can't really find a great poster banner ... http://www.techhui.com/events/csci-3771-python-at-hpu-spring-2012
any ideas?
Thanks everyone for the great responses. I think I'll check out PyQt and mess around with that when I get the opportunity.
@David Cantrell, It may be profoundly unreasonable to do so, but I still eagerly await the next iteration of Peachtree Linux. I'm sure my release 1 cd feels pretty lonely sitting on my shelf without any Peachtree siblings.
I'm not sure about companies in Hawaii, but Python is pretty huge in the 3D animation industry. Autodesk, who holds the monopoly on the major 3D animation packages, has Python as its de facto scripting standard.
@Derek - I've used both Python and Qt extensively, but not PyQt... However, based on my experience with Qt, I would highly recommend PyQt if you're not married to Python 3.x. Qt made me not hate GUI development in C++ and I'm sure it's even better in Python. Look up signals/slots under Qt and you won't be disappointed.
