And how would Fortran programmers see a lunch break in Python?

Once upon a time, I wrote a FEM model developer in Python to export to Strand7. After 12 months, I had not succeeded but I had 30000 lines of code and a program that took hours to attempt to run in Rhino.

One weekend I wrote one in Fortran and it did succeed.  It would develop a million element model in about 20 minutes from scratch, using a text file with 200 input lines. 

Python, whoever ever dreamed up that little mess. At that point I will stop.  

At my Uni they teach programming to engineers in Python.

Python?  What's Python.
