   Comparing PHP with Python is an interesting experience; there is alot of common ground, although Python aims to be a general purpose language while PHP targets web applications. The other division on typing is strong vs. weak and I think it’s fair to say Python is strongly typed while PHP is weakly typed e.g.;

   Python;
   
$myInt = 4;
print "The number is "+myInt; # Illegal interpolation
print "The number is "+str(myInt); # Cast to string


   PHP;

   
myInt = 4;
print "The number is ".$myInt;


   That works in PHP’s favor when it comes to generating HTML while, at the same time, more effort is needed if you want to validate a submitted variable, to check it’s an integer.

   Python generally feels “better rounded”; there are many things I’d love to see in PHP, import in particular plus things like distutils and the notion that everything is an object.

   At the same time think PHP’s class syntax is preferable, hiding you from the fact that the interpreter really regards objects as glorified hashes while Python requires you specify the self reference inside a class.

   Also Python hasn’t got databases nailed down yet, at least when it comes to using a DB to “drive” a website. John Lim is working on porting ADOdb to Python: http://php.weblogs.com/adodb_python

   Static vs. dynamic typing
   Irgendwann Ende der 80er fiel mir ein Zortech C++ Compiler in die Hand. Den mochte ich, weil er anders als das cfront auf dem AIX ein nativer Compiler war. Ich habe also das VP/ix in meinem SCO Xenix hochgefahren, ein MS-DOS rein installiert und ein wenig

   If you don’t like classpath, make your own class loader that uses a different method, it takes less than an hour… Just don’t be a retard and search the current working directory like Python does.

   naturally like your web-site but you have to check the spelling on quite a few of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling issues and I uncover it quite bothersome to tell the truth nevertheless I will surely come back once more.
