[Jython-users] Newbie wants to spread usage of python in our company

[Karthik G. <kar...@az...>]

hi all,

This is my first post to the list.
Our company does'nt use python. many have'nt even heard of it.

Ours is mainly a java shop.

We have lots of internal training sessions @ our place.
Anyone with a decent knowledge of a particular subject can take such
sessions.
I was planning to take an introductory session on python.

I feel irrespective of how good the language is, not many
w'd want to try it out unless and otherwise they can see lots of
supporting tools and libraries.

it has to be 1 hour talk. I have picked up a few topics.

Ours being a java shop, i feel, the most important topic would be jython.

Any suggestion w'd be of great help to me.

Please give me ideas of some simple demonstration i can do with jython.
Something that w'd've some effect on our guys.
I wrote small gui stuff in swing using jython.
I can probably show how the number of lines is far less that what you w'd
write for a
typical java swing application.

I need more intutive stuff.

am no expert, infact am a newbie but am comfortable woth python syntax,
features.
who wants to spread the usage of python/jython @ our place.

But unless i tell them how i managed to get something done easily using
jython,
they w'd'nt be impressed.

like some examples of what i can achieve by embedding the jython interpreter
inside my java code
in a very efficient manner.

Any inputs/ideas for the demo would be of great help to me.

thanks,
karthik.
