Python

Any experience?

Has anyone ever used Python? I used to hear a lot of good things about it, but never got around to looking into it properly. Anyone know of any good 'starter' sites?

Hi sugarkane. I'm not a Python programmer but this looks like it may be helpful. (BTW, I'm not affiliated with this site):

Free online book and tutorial, downloadable in various formats.

Excellent site!

How much Python is used? Is common?

Page says Pythos good for CGI programming. Is code clean?

I've heard that Python is the language behind Yahoo, and I've heard many people rave about it but never tried it myself.

As far as clean code goes - Python forces you to use indentation when writing scripts, which would tend to encourage good coding style. Beyond this I'm not really sure...
