Hi Bryan,
Yes, every computer language has its own way of doing things, hence the
variety.
Python seems to be in the middle ground, where it has features like the
more complex C/C++ and Pascal, etc, and yet you do not have to all of
that endless 'compiling' to see a result.
So like all the BASICS, it is interpreted as it is run.
One of the aims of the Pi, is to encourage programming, again, to users
and especially younger users. To see a quick result.
It will be interesting to see whether this happens, and which computer
languages actually then get used.
I've had a look at Python too, Malcolm, and found "Python Languages &
Syntax Cheat Sheet". Under basic arithmetic it says "i=a%b e.g. 11%3
2" I cannot make sense of that. I'll just hope that we can get an
emulator and stick to SBASIC I know. But if RS have 220,000
outstanding orders, it'll be some time before I get one!

Hi John,
Well done ... I guess you may be the first on this list ... :-)
In the meantime, I am starting to getting around to learning the
Python programming language.
As you may guess, the link between "Pi" and "Python" names is not
accidental in all this, either. As Python is the preferred programming
language for the Pi. Well at least at this early stage.
For those who do not program, it also no accident that the Python
programming language is directly termed after the Monty Python comedy.
The Tutorial with the Version that I have, on a PC, gets in early
with a variable definition termed "SPAM" ... which is an obvious
reference to one well known comedic sketch.
I guess that this will open up everyone's imagination and humour, too
.....
My RPi arrived yesterday ;)

Someone already has atleast one emulator running on the Pi

Looks good, but a QL emulator would be even better!
