Those of you who know me know that I am always fascinated by different programming languages. I've programmed in more than a few, but read up on dozens. Lately I've been taking a stab at Python.

I'm keeping track of progress at http://learningpython.wordpress.com/

So far it's mostly gripes and rants ;-)

The reason I say sort-of off topic is that I'm making no secret of the fact that I come from a Revolution background. The latest post compares the out-of-the-box experience between Rev and a Python IDE. In Rev, installation and building a standalone application takes 16 steps, including retrieving and entering the demo license code. In Python, after 10 steps I have downloaded nothing, installed nothing, and built nothing, have gone down a blind alley or two, and have more questions than I started with.

When I get past the install and start describing actually programming in Python, it should be better.

In any case, feel free to have a look and post feedback, even if it's just to point out where I went wrong in the Python install process ;-)

regards,

Geoff
