:-) Funny.  ANSI-C++ is indeed *newer* than python, but you are
comparing apples to oranges (you are comparing a version of one
language with the whole of another).  I respond by saying that Python
2.2.1 is much, *much* newer than any C++ implementation.

Additionally, somebody learning something new has nothing to do with
the age of the information they digest.  I can go to google right now
and learn something *new* about the ancient Greeks (and, yes, ANSI-C++
is *newer* than the ancient greeks, ;-) ).  Just my $.02.

An excellent recommendation.
