Python so slow!!

• baldfat 13y ago
  What does this have to do with Scientific Computing? I don't think there is anyone would say that in the realm of Scientific Computing there is a problem with slow in python.

    I would argue that many Scientific Computing problems involve large amounts of data and/or computation.

      Have you ever worked with MatLab or other "Scientific Computing Languages"? They are like 10 times slower then Python. I am guessing you are against dynamic languages?

  and the spacing thing... what a nightmare for copy/paste

    to those downvoting the parent to this comment ... honestly, do you disagree? If so I must be missing some trick, and if so I would love to hear what it is.

      What editor(s) do you use?
      • plg 13y ago
        sublime text emacs textmate problem is typically copying and pasting from an editor into a terminal window running python... usually for code blocks that have not just one but at least two (or more) levels of indentation iPython and pasting with %cpaste usually helps but what if I want plain Python not iPython? anyway it's a problem I don't have with any other language and so that's why I'm complaining about it
