Is it possible to make a GUI email program in Python that stores emails, composes, ect? Also, could I create my own programming language in Python? What are Pythons limits, or is this just a waste of my time to learn it.
Python is "Turing complete," which means it is a general-purpose programming language. Generally speaking, this means you can do anything with it that you can do with any other programming language. Being a higher-level language, Python is often chosen over other languages because it is faster to do many things in Python.
You could also create another programming language with Python. In fact, another general-purpose programming language (C) was used to create Python.
Python makes many things easy. For many tasks, Python saves you a lot of time. It is a good general-purpose tool to know how to use well. It is a good beginner's language, as it makes many of the annoying things about programs non-issues.
