Power Of Python - What Has Been Written In Python?

[Raja Sekharan]

Hi,

I understand that a lot can be accomplished using python, I really don't know what HAS been accomplished using python. Could you give me an idea of whcih prominent, software tools have been created using python.

Back when I installed Unreal Tournament 2003 I remember seeing a lot of python files in the install directory. What could they possibly do with python to create Unreal tournament? Also, my college professor told me that a LOT of GUI tools in Linux have been created using Python.

So tell me, what software are you familiar with which were created using python?

You should check our wiki. I created a list some time ago including major software using Python. You can find it here: List of applications written in Python - CodeCall Programming Wiki

Besides those mentioned in the CCWiki-article, lots of games use Python, but only as a scripting language for various taks regarding organizing mostly. And yes, lots of GUI tools in Linux use Python, just to mention some few I use daily: DeVeDe, pyRenamer, Deluge, Rhythmbox and gedit.

Lots of applications, and mostly games, use scripting languages either to organise things at a higher level, or just as small scripts to accomplish small tasks. Python can be seen as a scripting language, though an application can be written fully in Python, it's quite versatile since it can use almost any library out there, usually with a C/C++ wrapper.

Yea, You can make a lot of games with Pygame now a days. But, people are mostly using Macromedia Flash 8 to do that.

Python's often described as glue... I know it's been used for the scripting in Civolization 4; it is used heavily for lots of things in Ubuntu; every AppEngine website uses it at the moment (since it is the only language AppEngine currently supports).
