Why try Python First because its free and easy to learn. Try it yourself at
http:/www.Python.org

With the 2.2 release it has lots of great features. Its also now on every platform the Pythwin
for win32 machines is great. The interactive window that lets you play with code is excellent for learning proper syntax of the language. It even has a debugger and a tutorial on how to use it . Thankx Monty and Team!!
