copied!<p>It's almost easier to build a quick Proof of Concept service that demonstrates how clean and simple it is.</p> <p>A simple SQLAlchemy mapping with a quick demo of query processing.</p> <p>A simple template showing how cool Mako is.</p> <p>A simple Pylons app to put the two together.</p> <p>Most important -- use their application and their data. Not a lame hello world; not an existing tutorial.</p> <p>If they want to compare your clean, elegant demo of their app with .NET and J2EE, they'll see that other languages lead to a much, much bigger code base.</p> <hr> <p><strong>Edit</strong></p> <p>Show them this: <a href="http://python.org/about/success/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://python.org/about/success/</a></p> <p>Also, one of the best Python demos is to do things the way the SQLAlchemy and Django tutorials do things -- in interactive python from the <code>>>></code> prompt. Nothing is more exciting than programming which is so simple you can do it interactively.</p> <p>You won't find a lot of compelling case studies. Python is a community. .Net and J2EE are products. .Net has Microsoft's advertising backing it; Microsoft can afford to do extensive surveys and studies of their product. Same for Sun (soon to be Oracle) and J2EE -- lots of marketing hype backing up their claims.</p> <p>Python just has what's on the Python.org site (<a href="http://python.org/about/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://python.org/about/</a>). The various related projects (Pylons, Mako and SQLAlchemy) don't have lavish case study whitepapers. They do have a large number of downloads, and lots of word of mouth. </p> <p>But if someone's looking for "proof" that Python works better than .Net, there's not going to be much.</p>
