Agreed. I am doing it to lessen my dependence on Microsoft and find a
better language. It so happens that they own a powerful product which
resembles Python, in many respects, called Visual Foxpro, that I have
used for many yeas. They are letting it die a slow and tortuous death
to force us to use VB. Hundreds of thousands of programmers are being
affected by this. Although I have a lot of experience with VB, it
takes much longer to complete appications using it.

I have looked at Perl (too convoluted). I have looked at PHP (cleaner
but also convoluted). Python on the other hand has a nice and clean
syntax (I got over the indentation requirement in two minutes), tons
of support and hundreds of modules.

I am trying to get more frustrated VFP programmers to check out
Python.
