Should i give python a try on text processing
Posted: Fri Dec 29, 2006 1:40 pm
I wrote a few scripts in PHP to spider some websites for some content.
I find PHP very practical to manipulate text.
As there is a HUGE mambo-jambo about the wonders of python, i would like to give it a try.
No apecial features such as multi-thread or memory management will be used, it will basically consist on HTTP, mysql and regular expression match operations.
Should i give python a try ( this would be a way to climb it's learning curve )?
Or should i just stick to PHP?
I love PHP, i think it's great a dead simple, i hardly belive any other language has so practical tools to manipulate text as PHP.... but i would like to give a try on python.
For those with experience... is it to manipulate text in python? as easy as php?
