Your Face is a Python
I was asked to find a way to programmatically analyze some log files - those files are a tab delimited format with something like 6 fields of data. This sort of thing I might have done in Perl at one time. However, having been some very long time since I did anything in Perl, and, I don't know, just not finding Perl very intuitive right now for some reason. With my recent discovery of the Trac software project management system, all written in Python, I decided it was time to jump right into some Python programming.
I have to say that it was pretty easy to knock together a simple text file parser... Python seems to be very clean and to the point. Maybe one day I'll stop using shell scripts and sed for everything (when all you have is a hammer, yada yada )..
