[99%SugarFree]

Hi,there
I've just known about Python language recently for a research project.
I'm just wondering what kind of applications out there using Python??
Where can I find more information about  the philosophical, technical and
design features of Python??

For those of you who used Python, have you used Prolog or ML??What do u
think of these 3 language comparing to each other when you are coding?

Thanks for dropping by..
