python is not a new programming language ,it has been there for the
last .... 15+ years or so ? right ?

however by having a look at this page

http://wiki.python.o...in/Applications

i could not see many programs written in python !

i will be interested more in COMMERCIAL programs written in python ). and to be honest ,i tried some of the programs in that list and all the programs that i tried either dead projects or so buggy !

1- where are the programs that is written in python ?
2- python is high productivity language : why there are no commercial
programs written in it?

is python a valid practical programming language ?
why it is not used in commercial software ?

please don't mention programs where python was used as a glue ,those
programs are not actually written in python.

any help will be appreciated

thank you

There are LOTS of python programs on the Ubuntu repositories. It's used quite a bit on Linux, not so much on Windows.

I know for a fact that Google uses alot of Python.

Python is a fairly high level language, It may not be as widely used in commercial/important applications due to it being such a scripting language.

It's a programming forum, not a grammar forum. Some people are not English, and may not need to convey every single syllable correctly to get their point across.

I would have thought that it would be better to correct that to leave in ignorance, no? We all make typos, but working with people whose English is not great "a lot" is one of those words I've noticed that many, many people get wrong. So why not help someone else out? I hope others can correct me when I'm wrong, too. :-)

I really don't mind you correcting me, because I know I make mistakes, but this is indeed not a grammar forum. So correct me, but bring a point or an argument too ;)

Also, Disney has an MMO that uses Python+Panda3D(which is a Python library), afaik it's entirely written in python:

i think you mean to say bring a point or an argument For the Thread, not the grammer. meaning post something relevent to the thread's title, dont just make a post bringing up the error. just clarifying

when i first saw the last post i figured it was going to be "toonTown" but the pirates game is written in python? that's pretty cool!

You just double-posted instead of merely editing your previous post, very wrong.

Google, Youtube, NASA, and NYSE ( New York Stock Exchange ) all use some python, I'm sure that there's a lot more.
