Newbie question on python programming

[Chris Williams]

Hello

I hope this is the right newsgroup for this post.

I am just starting to learn python programming and it seems very 
straightforward so far. It seems, however, geared toward doing the sort 
of programming for terminal output.

Is it possible to write the sort of applications you can create in 
something like c-sharp or visual c++, or should I be looking at some 
other programming language? I am using ubuntu 12.04.

Thanks,

Chris.
