I love Python

I hate Python

  • it gets the job done FAST. And, it is a very well designed language (uzhin) (2 votes)
  • i can't cut and past a block of code for testing into the interactive python due to the stupid indentation
  • you have to write it pretty and more importantly edit it pretty. it is impossible to have a pretty printer or reformatter for python due to the lack of an end keyword.
  • i use multiple editors and ide's for developement, quick edits, and editting through a terminal window. i hate having to make sure they all format python the same way.
  • "use a real editor" is not a valid response to complaints about lack of a closing keyword or indentation.
  • i have to do extra work to comment out or deactivate a block of code; in other languages i can simply put something like "if false" and "end" around it. In python i have to re-indent or recomment the whole block too.
  • the indentation aspect makes cutting and pasting code a pain in the arse, and cut/paste is a significant part of coding.
