'script' in most conversations these days is a reference to the triviality of the application. A trivial objective often requires little effort, thus there is a common tendency to overlook the quality of the code. Some traditional 'scripts' then grow pretty big, and get really unwieldy.<br /><br />anyway.. i don't really mind. My take home from this post of yours is that you're reading through a fair bit of python-focussed material, which is a good thing! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09046122573908916444noreply@blogger.com
