=Python is a Great Language=

So are others, but for some purposes Python may be the best

==Why==

*Has its own iconic cartoon [[http://xkcd.com/353/ import antigravity]] ( do you know of any for another language? )
*Named after Monty Python, how cool is that.
*Free
*Runs on many OS's including the Raspberry PI.
*Great interactive modes.
*Concise, code often short without being cryptic.
*Real language not a toy.
*Widely used, lots of support books.....
*Lots of libraries for doing lots of things.
*Interpreted, but not all the time may be compiled.
*Seems to play well with other languages.
*Option for serious Object Orientation, almost everything is an object of a class.
*No need to adopt the OO methodology for many programs.

==But==

* Not statically typed which may not suit your tastes ( or may be a plus ).
* Not the fastest, but often fast enough.

==Ways to Run ==

*From text editor, save file, run with an interperter. ( Generally use Idle instead, nicer, almost as lean )
*IPython, a highy interactive environment ( I have not used )
*Idle ( as in Eric ) a really really basic, IDE
