Re: Linq to Python

[hrishy]

Hi Tim

I am not a LINQ expert just a LINQ user and (was a little envious why the langauge i fantasize doesnt have it (pardon my ignorance of python))

LINQ as far as i know allows you to query all sources using a consistent interface .

You can query a message queue ,xml document ,array object or relational source by learning LINQ and even join them as illustrated below

If somebody can tutor me how i can do that in python that would be great (and mayeb satisfy my greed and leave me with a happy feeling that my langauge python can do it)

regards
Hrishy

LINQ is more than buzzwords. Python misses several of

those features.

So maybe for once the Python crowd may recognize such

C# feature as

much better than things present in Python.
Said that, I presume Python will go on as usual, and

LINQ-like

capabilities will not be integrated in Python. In the

meantime where I

live lot of people will keep using C# instead of

Python and CLisp,

natural selection at work indeed.

Perhaps a quick summary of what LINQ offers which might
"be integrated into Python" would help those of
us who
are ignorant? (This is a serious comment; I'd like to
know).
