Considering getting into Python... Any Pros-Cons?

[Cliff Pruitt]

Well I thank you all for the great insight.  The truth is I think it will be
a very long time before I get anywhere with C++, at least farther than some
kind of basic "hello world" stuff.  I dont seem to be the best person
arround at wrapping my head around syntax and all that (thats my nice way of
saying I learn very slowly when it comes to programming languages).

I guess my main concern what that I'd get into Python and find out that I
couldn't develop a full application without getting into C++ or something.
Admittedly C++ is probibly a lot more powerful, but this is just a hobby to
tinker with for me.  Does anyone know of a Database format I could use on a
Macintosh?  I know access willwork on my Win machine, but I'd liek to play
with Mac OS primarily.

 Am I correct in understanding that Python will let you create GUI elements
(windows, buttons, dialogue boxes, ect...)?

Thanks so much!  This seems like a very friendly newsgroup.
