- jmspring 13y agoWindows on the desktop is going away? Pretty sure it will be around for many many years to come. I say this as a primarily mac household. That said, yes, Python is a portable skill.
- count 13y agoBut python tools are not (by default) portable when they deal specifically with OS stuff. The paradigms are too different - you have to spend considerable amounts of time doing 'if os==linux:elif os==windows' if you want portability for that kind of thing. And to say 'windows is going away' is hilarious - maybe in the Valley, but def. not in big orgs.
