This is not so much a programming question as an industry (business) one.<br><br>Java is not going away soon and python will only pick up in enterprises if those of you who are into it push (products developed using) it hard and well enough. <br>
<br>Maybe if Sun (Java-ites) did as much market research as they do mathematics IBM would not have to bail (buy) them out! Unfortunately their programming experience has not brought them as much profit as some more market understanding would have.<br>

i am developing for openbravo (java) and openerp(python) and have to make a scary but firm choice. both projects are quite resource intensive and since i have only 2 brains (left/right which are never in agreement) and have to sleep at least 6 hours, time is an issue.<br>


<br>i have to drop one of the projects....these are not commercial projects but r &amp; d projects.<br><br>those with genuine experience with both programming languages... please help...what do you see as the future of python? does python have a chance in the african enterprise environment which is largely driven by brand, ,ie microsoft, Oracle, etc?<br>
