<div><br>
</div>
<div>I found python projects to be very good from an code

<div>What I found is Python Language makes it simple to
without an IDE simpler</div>
<div>code to review. I find Java Projects to be the most
difficult to do code review.</div>

<div>What is the general view on this? Or is it one of my
