Deb, For starters most of the Google enterprise runs on python. Google App Engin <http://code.google.com/appengine/>e is for developers to develop web applications on Google
There are many applications ranging from web frameworks to math modules. Web frameworks: Django <http://www.djangoproject.com/>, Repoze BFG<http://static.repoze.org/bfgdocs/>, Pylons <http://pylonshq.com/>, Turbo Gears <http://turbogears.org/>, CherryPy <http://www.cherrypy.org/> NumPy <http://numpy.scipy.org/> for math/physics. Plone <http://plone.org/> is a content management system used by many schools and governments. Python website has lots of information to learn python. Documents<http://docs.python.org/>, Python Enhancement Proposals <http://www.python.org/dev/peps/>, Community<http://www.python.org/community/>and the Python Package Index <http://pypi.python.org/pypi>. It is a beautiful language! Good Luck :) On Tue, Jul 21, 2009 at 1:12 PM, Deb <swifts...@comcast.net> wrote: > My son suggested I play around with Python.
