Python

Python is a programming language that looks very interesting. This is from Python.org site: What is Python?
Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language. It is often compared to Tcl, Perl, Scheme or Java.

Python combines remarkable power with very clear syntax. It has modules, classes, exceptions, very high level dynamic data types, and dynamic typing. There are interfaces to many system calls and libraries, as well as to various windowing systems (X11, Motif, Tk, Mac, MFC). New built-in modules are easily written in C or C++. Python is also usable as an extension language for applications that need a programmable interface.

The Python implementation is portable: it runs on many brands of UNIX, on Windows, OS/2, Mac, Amiga, and many other platforms. If your favorite system isn't listed here, it may still be supported, if there's a C compiler for it. Ask around on news:comp.lang.python -- or just try compiling Python yourself.
Many of Google's engineers code in Python.

Friday Before Labor Day.

My mind is on three day weekend mode. WooHoo! Last night I did nothing, I caught up on some well deserved sleep. Seems like the only thing on my mind is Python and PERL . This weekend going to kick back with my lady and cook. Maybe code a little. Well have to see.
