Are you a newbie to Python, or to programming in general? I'll assume you are a newbie to programming in general because of that last question you asked. Things in Python are easier than in almost any other programming language. Here are three Hello World programs: --------------C++--------------------- #include <iostream.h> main() { cout << "Hello World!"; return 0; } -------------------------------------- -------------Java--------------------- class HW { public static void main(String args[]) { System.out.println("Hello World!"); } } -------------------------------------- ------------Python-------------------- print "Hello World!" -------------------------------------- --------------C#---------------------- <I have no idea!> -------------------------------------- I think you can clearly see which one is easiest. Of course, that doesn't mean that the "easiest" language is always the "best" language, although it is a strong point. But ease of use is just a one- in-a-million characteristic of Python. If you're a total beginner, I'd recommend you learning the one that attracts you the most. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
