I recently finished reading the Python tutorial and am now working on
the library reference.  I am very impressed with the online
documentaton that came with the Python that SuSE 6.0 included
(1.5.1).

It looks to be a very nice, easy language.  I am considering using it
as an extension/scripting language for a project I am designing.  This 
is after eliminating Perl, ECMAScript, and ANSI Common Lisp.

Did this thread start out as a troll?  I rather get the impression
that Python will be a language that will enjoy a growing user base as
more people become aware of it.  I'll take it over VBScript any day.
Just don't take my Perl away :-).

If you don't, I won't see it.

If you live in a country run by committee, be on the committee.
