Hi, I've just begun to learn programming, I have an open question for the group:
Is the Python language an all in one computer language which could replace C,
C++, Java etc.. I only ask becuase I am starting off with python and I want to
learn everything in basic and advanced programming with python itself...So any
advice and suggestions would be more than welcome.
Thanks!!
Python is a viable applications language, yes. There's nothing you
can't write in Python that you can write in (say) Java - both
languages are what's called "Turing complete". Every language has its
special focus, though, so there'll be some things that are far easier
in one language than another. In general, Python is a fine language
for simple tasks like printing "Hello, world", for scripting, for
writing GUI programs, and for building web applications. It's not
restricted to tiny projects or to huge ones. There's no critical limit
on the amount of "stuff" you can do before the code gets unwieldy, for
instance, nor is there a level below which it's just too much hassle
to put together a program.

Thanks mate!! I'm a bit relieved. If I could get some really good books on
programming with python, those for the beginners would be very helpful.
No, no, no, this can't be happening!!! Surely outlook can't have caught
double spaced google disease, please see
https://wiki.python.org/moin/GoogleGroupsPython for a description of the
original problem and compare it to what's shown above.

My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask
what you can do for our language.
