Very interesting , downloaded and printed it out to read over the week end , I also have O'Riellys learning python , which goes into more detial. So far I like what I see. (I an biased towards Opject Pascal a la borlands Delphi. Python harkens back to the days of dbase 4 which i dabled with for a realy short time. That version realy killed it incomparison with dbase 3. Made several apps with clarion for dos , and several more with a pre_rad tool caled Zachery thet was a really sophisticated code generater for clipper ,and finaly Delphi which I realy like and realy miss on linux. JAva's too c like , but prpobibly worth learning as its so close to c/c++ but there is a dearth of third party add ins that are realy affordable. Every thing is markedted to big / corperate shops , way too expensive.
If you're interested in a tutorial, I found this one very helpful http://www.idi.ntnu.no/~mlh/python/programming.html It explains things a bit better than Guido's tutorial, if you're new to programming. A little too basic if you've been programming for a while. The language is quite powerful, and just Cool IMO.

[IMAGE] I read that artical too. Picked up orialys learning python nad just started it.
When I looked into pearl its just too cryptic , especialy in its typing and just the way the code looks. I realy like what I have seen pf python and plan on realy finishing the book. It has hoods into tcl/tk and postgress as well. It seems to be a higher leval and has built in oop , not oop as an afterthought.Not this is what I as a newbie have picked up on. YMMV
There are several tutorials on the python home page as well.

But then I read a very positive article about Python in the LinuxJournal (written by Eric Raymond). A lot of people recommend Perl, simply because
Perl. the
majority uses it. But is that a good enough reason?

It said "Needs Windows 98 or better." So I installed Linux...
