As you may or may not know, Microsoft is discontinuing Visual Basic in favor of VB.NET and that means I need to find a new easy programming language. I heard that Python is an interpreted language similar to VB. This means that it doesn't have all the hard stuff like pointers, classes and templates like C, C++ and assembly language.
Where I work we use Microsoft Office with a lot of customization using Visual Basic. I would like to switch to Python to do it since VB is being discontinued. Would Python meet our requirements? I need to make lots of GUI applications (message boxes, forms, etc.) and do the underlying business logic too. Thanks in advance. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
