Python question

Apropos to the question "Python for DSP" in comp.dsp ( How fully object-oriented is Python? I'm doing an app that really wants to be prototyped in something Scilab-ish (i.e., interpreted so it's easy to do graphs or computation on bits of it), but which is seriously challenging Scilab's sorta-object oriented-ness. I'm running (again) into Scilab's inability to really overload functions, or to provide handles to data, etc. So -- does Python let you grab a handle to a data object, or do function overloading? Does it slow down much if you use those features? Thanks... -- Tim Wescott Wescott Design Services

Come to think of it, I have been feeling like this for 20+ years... :D.

I must have been aging prematurely I guess :-).

FB is a time suck (but, i guess we can say the same about USENET).

dsp.stackexchange has eclipsed comp.dsp a little, for me because i can do legit math expression on it.

same here. i'm chomping at the bit to get to some of my IRA to use to retire some debt and i have to wait until July 1, when i am 59.5 y.o. otherwise there's a 10% early withdrawal penalty.
