And now for something completely different...
Welcome to my personal Python homepage. At the moment you will only find some links to other sites, as I haven't had time to put together some stuff of general interest.
Python is a portable, object-oriented and last but not least easy-to-learn scripting language which can be used for everything from throwaway-scripting to complete applications .
Because it is quite easy to read and to understand, and because it is portable and especially because much stuff for processing PDB-files (containing information about molecular models (Proteins, RNA, organic and inorganic molecules) already existed, I had chosen Python as the implementation language for some data-parsing and conversion tools I desperately needed during and shortly after my diploma-work.
More recently I have written some glue-logic for my Ph.D. work (macromolecular crystallography) which does more or less similar things as the GROMOS96-scripts: Input-generation and some logfile-parsing.
I got lucky in being paid to program in Python during my industry-carreer at Exelixis, BASF Plant Science as well as BASF Business Services.
And of course Python is essential, if you like Pymol, a molecular graphics program which uses it as its extension and scripting language.
To be somehow usefull, here is the proof, that python is good and Java and Perl are evil:
<syntaxhighlight lang="python">
print "Hello world!"
</syntaxhighlight>
Although this will have to be written as
<syntaxhighlight lang="python">
print("Hello world!")
</syntaxhighlight>
from now on, still not bad compared to Java or Visual Basic.
If you still don't believe me, try this
<syntaxhighlight lang="python">
from __future__ import braces
</syntaxhighlight>
And if you still don't believe me, read this
Still no content here...
Asteroids
Because there is an ultra-cool Java-client for the Asteroids-bot competition on heise.de, I'd like to port some of that stuff to Python. See what comes out of that...
