Try running "find /usr/share | grep '.py$'" on a Fedora/Redhat machine)), is arguably simpler to teach/learn... Python is just very universal. Ruby on the other hand has Rails (http://rubyonrails.com) and Ruby has an upcoming community. Many people (like me) learn Ruby because of Rails. > For those of you who haven't done the requisite Google search, > here is > Julian's blog: http://julianyap.blogspot.com/ Disclaimer: Please excuse any content of dubious nature you may find on the internet. :)
