The 3rd most popular language/framework on Windows

Python is a high-level programming language first released by Guido van Rossum in 1991. Python is designed around a philosophy which emphasizes the importance of programmer effort over computer effort, and it rejects more arcane language features, prioritizing readability over speed or expressiveness. Python is often characterized as minimalist, although this only applies to the core language's syntax and semantics; the standard library provides the language with a large number of additional libraries and extensions.and so it become The 2nd most popular programming language on Linux and FIRST interpretive language on linux

    Python is great, clean, and minimalist. I use it when I need to, and am currently converting a few large scripts into Python

    Python has a lot of ways to use it:
    - Console utilities
    - GUI programming (such libraries as):
    * pyQT (binding for QT)
    * wxPython (binding for wxWidgets)
    * FLTK;
    * pyGTK (binding for Gnome Toolkit);
    * TKinter (native python package - goes with it...)
    - Web development:
    * Zope2/Plone CMS (the most popular python CMS);
    * Zope3, Grok, z3ext, bfg.repoze (component architecture base);
    * Django (MVC, ORM, ...);
    * TurboGears (MVC);
    * Pylons (MVC);
    * web.py (the simplest way to create web applications).
    * GAE (Google App Engine)

    The IDLE IDE is nice. I liked the simple editor and the console but it could be more helpful (etc. like the eclipse based IDEs) and perform better (if you use some additional plugins like Tessaract OCR, IDLE uses too much of CPU, what can be very annoying on older PCs).
    However, the Python language is great and it can be very useful. The syntax is very easy, and there's so many additional libraries in internet, that make this language very powerful. With Apache server and CGI, it becomes very useful to generate html code and apllications on the site.

    P.S. It's only my advice but... Please, don't learn Python as your first language. I know it's easy, but it's too... simplified.
    You don't have to care about memory allocation, data types, so you can earn some bad habits. It can be very problematic if you'll try to learn languages like C/C++ in the future...
