Yes, you need to install Python one way or another. > If it is, I guess my plan of action > would be to use python embeded in java applets. Just install Python and use it. There's a Java/Python implementation called Jython but don't worry about it for now. > Another question I have: Does any one know any really good, really > easy to understand python books? Try "Dive Into Python", www.diveintopython.org (site is very slow right now, try later). Also the online tutorial, http://docs.python.org/tut/tut.html is pretty good, though not in as much depth. > P.S. I'm 14 and I know HTML, PHP, and I know about many others! If you're good at PHP, then Python shouldn't be much trouble. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
