I learned a bit of Python a while ago; never really felt like getting good at it, though.

Ah, I see. I like it because its an easy language to pick up. I've been at it for a few hours, and Im already doing some GUI work. I intend on getting into the SQL aspect soon..

I intend on getting into the SQL aspect soon.. It is a fairly simple language to get the hang of as opposed to some others, yes. I'm not sure why, but I didn't really have any motivation for learning it. Yes, I wanted to learn to develop software, but Python just didn't feel like the language I wanted to do it in, I suppose.

Its definitely not as powerful as, say, C++ or even C#, but what I like is the flexibility of it. I'm using it to create a software for the XO, and using PyGTK and Gecko 1.9, I've already setup a network connection. So I like that about it. But obviously I don't intend on creating an MMORPG with Python.

I wrote a chat client in it at one point. A really cool OOP language, IMHO. Very good for offering cross-OS support. ~Artemis
