First off, a great choice of language to begin trying! Is it your
first language (I'm guessing not), or do you come from another
'background'.

Basically, Active is a possible 'superset' of the main distro. of
Python. So, for Windows, for instance, it will offer com objects
etc...

I normally stick with the Python core, then use additional libraries
where appropriate.

Just my 2p,

Jon.
