is the language that Gentoo uses for package management, which
certainly qualifies as a sys-admin task.

In the "A few questions" thread, John Nagle's summary of Python begins
"Python is a byte-code interpreted untyped procedural dynamic
language with implicit declaration. "
Is Python strongly typed or untyped?

True, I like how Python is a general language that can be used for many
different purposes and hope to learn wxPython as well. I have read

I don't know much about Ruby, but it does not seem to be commonly used
for anything other than web-development. I

Unless it's the same C code, I don't see how that means anything. If I
write an app on Windows with C, and I rewrite the same

Small quibble: IMO, although C runs on many platforms, I don't think C

Hi all,
I have been looking at the various programming languages available. I
have programed in Basic since I was a teenager and I also have a basic
understanding of C, but I want something better.
Can anybody tell me the benefits and weaknesses of using Python?
