I like Python. A lot! I try and find excuses to use Python when I’m just fooling around with an idea because it’s so easy to go from a simple idea to something tangible. I wish I could find the time to use Python for something serious though. Every time I want to use a library (pygame, pyglet, PIL) to make something a little more serious, I end up wasting all my time figuring out issues.
Issues have ranged from something requiring Python 2.4, weird GCC issues when building a dependancy, something requiring 32 bit, etc, etc. It’s sad to me that a language as fun as Python can be so frustrating to experiment with and just try out libraries. Maybe part of my frustration is due to my lack of experience with Python (I don’t use it very often), but every time I WANT to use Python I seem to run into a lot of roadblocks (bad luck?).
Starting to feel like I’ll need to set up a linux box for fooling around with Python code, or maybe find another scripting language.
