●
Easy prototyping ( idea → demo )
●
Reasonably fast (data processing)
●
Well suited for the Web

16. We use Python for
Processing data
we use
wrapped
Python stdlib

18. Our Python style
Minimal
we mostly use the Python stdlib
Simple
we don't create/use big programs
Work smart
design tools to avoid errors and work faster
