I am no Python expert, but there must be modules (easyinstall etc) for inversion of control etc in Python too, as there should be in all scripting languages. (Is it really in the std lib of Java?! Ah, maybe I'm not that surprised...)

(I am from a Perl environment which have a bit emphasis on tools/libraries and language extensions, because it is easy to do with automatical tests on most every platform/Perl version.)

It's not in the standard library for java, no, but Spring is very popular and "standard" in the same way as e.g. Rails in ruby.

Ok, I get what you're saying.

Well, it is quite natural that the tools for large code bases are more common in Java. Not only because Java is traditionally used on conceptually larger projects... :-)

Anyway, as a Perl guy I can tell you that DI is commonly used in Perl, if nothing so because of the testing culture.
