About the language
Python is a large, object oriented, interpreted language. By
large understand very complete: Python comes with an
extensive library. A free implementation of this language is available
for all popular operating systems, including many brands of UNIX,
OS/2, Windows, Macintosh OS and Amiga OS. In fact, there is free
implementation available. So you can just download its source code and
compile it on your workstation.
What I think of the language
I will encourage you to use Python if you have to develop an
application with the ease of an interpreted language. Python and its
library are very robust and projet developed in this environment have
a great scalability. This an important difference with other shell
languages like bash or tcsh and even with other interpreted
languages like tcl.
