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.
