PYTHON WORKING WITH PERL ??
Blubaugh, David A.
I was wondering if it was possible to have a situation where a
programming project would utilized BOTH python and perl? Such as
utilizing python for internet programming and then utilize perl for text
processing and systems programming? Is this even feasible???
Thanks,
David Blubaugh

I don't see why not but I also question if it is a good idea. Once you
have all your objects and low level methods written in Python it just
makes sense to re-use them rather than trying to duplicate the
functionality in another language.
Of course, sometimes we don't have control over our entire environment
so yes, you can mix them if you have to.

You are absolutely correct. I was praying to G_d I did not have to
slaughter my project's source code in this manner. However, like life
itself, I was given legacy source code (i.e. someone else errors to fix)
in Perl. However, I have just found out that there is a way to import
the Perl interpreter within Python!!! I now believe I can utilize
python as the main platform to develop the project upon !!
Thanks,
David

Python + Perl is called Ruby. ;)

Rewrite everything in python. Save yourself now...while you still
can.

Trust me. Sean is absolutely correct. I'm currently in the process of
converting a large Perl project to Python (and learning Python at the
same time) and the improvement in code is incredible. After you learn
Python, you'll come to despise Perl.

Depends on the person -- I still love Perl, but program in Python
every day at work.
Python is great, but don't be mistaken: it's not the one language to
rule them all. No language is (except maybe Lisp).
But yay for converting a project to python. :)

I'm not a Python fan-boy, but I'm going to have to agree with Sean too. I
had been using Perl on-and-off for some 10 years, when I finally had to
write a 500-ish line script in Perl for some data processing. It got messy
in a hurry. Is this a hash? Is it a reference to a hash? Is it a reference
to a hash of array references? Gaaah! I rewrote it in Python, and it was
so much easier to keep all my data structures straight.

Perl just gives you a lot of rope.
You can do a lot of neat things with rope. ;)

A friend of mine who is a Perl user pointed out that although the
"perl" module exists:
I think it was largely experimental. As you can see from its release
page:
http://search.cpan.org/~gaas/pyperl-1.0/
it was created in 2001 and hasn't been updated, and it has mostly
failed the automated tests.

Some of us came to despise Perl *before* learning Python (third to
last paragraph):

For what it's worth, I thought I'd throw in my 2¢. I used to like Perl
a whole lot. I was never a Perl Monk, or a guru of any kind. But Perl
is powerful and convenient. In fact, I still use Perl one-liners all
the time. For any quickie one-liner, especially involving regular
expressions, it's unparalleled as far as I know. But once I started
using Python, I immediately preferred it to Perl. Now, I'm useless in
Perl. To even write a simple script, I end up having to hit up Google
for the syntax. Things don't make sense, and it's awkward for me to
put my thoughts down in Perl code. Python, on the other hand, almost
always does what I was thinking of when I wrote it. Don't get me wrong
-- I still write bad code. But most of the issues are bugs with the
logic, when I don't do enough thinking before typing (which Python
makes so easy). I rarely struggle with any syntax issues at all.
The reason I think Python blows Perl away is that it makes it much
easier to read code after a period of time. Even if it's not your
code. With Perl, it's too easy to write code that you have to decipher
even after your lunch break. For more thoughts on these things from
someone much, much more qualified than I, check out this fantastic
