greetings and welcome to python!

I would suggest having a look at <http://www.python.org/Help.html> for
pointers on where to start.. also check out the online versions of the
documentation (so you can read it before printing it out on paper) located
at <http://www.python.org/doc/>.

python will run on linux, other unix-like platforms, and win32. it has a
reasonable liscense, source code is available, it is easily extensible in C
or C++, and is a top notch 'glue' language. the semantics of the language
are *very* clean and elegant, making it a snap to learn. it has been
described as 'executable pseudo code', and it lives up to that reputation.

I don't want to sound like a bad commercial, but python is really and truly
very very cool and a lot of fun to work with.

regards,
J
