Python
:Python: /pi:'thon/ In the words of its author, "the other scripting
language" (other than Perl
that is). Python's design is notably
clean, elegant, and well thought through; it tends to attract the sort
of programmers who find Perl grubby and exiguous. Python's relationship
with Perl is rather like the BSD
community's relationship to Linux
-
it's the smaller party in a (usually friendly) rivalry, but the average
quality of its developers is generally conceded to be rather higher than
in the larger community it competes with. There's a Python resource page
at `http://www.python.org'. See also Guido
