For me, going from Pascal, to basic,c,cobol,fortran . . was not that difficult. Python, however, feels strange. As crazy as this may sound: Python, in some ways, reminds me of assembly language. I haven' t programmed in assembly in a *long* time. But I vaugly remember doing a lot of stuff where I used memory addresses as pointers to data, and also as pointers to pointers. Although, when I first started assembly language, I think it took me a week to write a program to print "hello world." -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
