| Applications can and are written in Python, but people are slow to change, so the vast majority are still done using C/C++ on Linux and Windows and a combination of C++ and Objective-C on Mac OS X. I've noticed a growing trend of using Python to provide user automation or scripting, sometimes called macros, for C/C++ applications. This makes a lot of sense: | The changing faces of Technology: |

| * developers don't have to waste time and money inventing their own scripting language and users don't have to learn a new automation language for every application they use * Python is an OpenSource solution and can be embedded and distributed for free so there are no royalty payments or licensing hassles * Python is simple to learn, yet Python and its standard libraries are much more powerful than a proprietary language like VBScript * Python is cross-platform * tools like [http://www.swig.org/ SWIG] make it easy to expose part or all of the application programming interface (API) * Python scripting can be added to legacy projects just as well as new ones so developers don't have to abandon their old C/C++ code libraries * On the Windows platform, Python has an excellent interface to COM (also known as ActiveX) and can be used to interface to almost any COM program (such as the MS-Office suite). Again, Python scripting can be added to enhance a project without change to the existing COM components. * Many Mac OS applications provide Apple event-based scripting interfaces, allowing them to be controlled from languages such as [http://www.apple.com/applescript/ AppleScript], [http://www.latenightsw.com/freeware/JavaScriptOSA/ JavaScript OSA], Perl (via [http://search.cpan.org/~cnandor/Mac-Glue/ Mac::Glue]), Python (via [http://freespace.virgin.net/hamish.sanderson/appscript.html appscript]), Tcl and UserTalk. For many of the same reasons, Python is often used as the "glue" language for a project. In the Java world, people are using Jython as the glue and scripting language. [[TableOfContents]] (!)

A category of hardware and software that enables people to use the Internet as the transmission medium for telephone calls. For users who have free, or fixed-price Internet access, Internet telephony software essentially provides free telephone calls anywhere in the world. To date, however, Internet telephony does not offer the same quality of telephone service as direct telephone connections. There are many Internet telephony applications available. Some, come bundled with popular Web browsers. Others are stand-alone products. Internet telephony products are sometimes called IP telephony, Voice over the Internet (VOI) or Voice over IP (VOIP) products. |
