[Mapserver-users] Mapscript

[Sean Gillies]

Jose,

You know Java.  Therefore I think that the Python mapscript would be the
best for you.  The syntax is more near to Java than Perl or PHP, and 
Python
mapscript also raises the exceptions that are so dear to Java 
programmers.

I have nothing against the other mapscript flavors, only that the 
migration
from Java to Python would be easier.

cheers,
Sean
