works hundreds (or thousands) times faster - depending on the architecture.
Really?
On my computer, typing the above into the interactive interpreter (and losing the comma on the print statement, because for some reason it isn't flushing its output after a print with no newline) produces lines of output at about 6Hz. (I'm estimating. It might be 4Hz or 10Hz. But it certainly isn't hundreds of lines per second.)
Well, it isn't hundreds of lines per second. But still it seems to be hundreds time faster than Maple, isn't it? Can you provide the precise time estimate? I'll do that for Python (I don't have Maple installed on this computer.) Alec
