I first learned about Python when I downloaded Blender, and It is required for all the things to work. I decided that while I had it, I might as well just learn how to use it. I googled a tutorial, found out how easy it was, and then it had me. I have some experience with Actionscript, Adobes code for Flash. After doing a really simple python tutorial, I found everything else falling into place. Thats why I chose it, and I plan on sticking with it, to help me when I (hopefully) learn other languages. ~Corey
