basic python questions

[nateastle at gmail.com]

I am currently going to school at Utah Valley State College, the course
that I am taking is analysis of programming languages. It's an upper
division course but our teacher wanted to teach us python as part of
the course, he spent about 2 - 3 weeks on python which has been good. I
currently work with .net and it is fun to see what other languages have
and what sytax they use.
