> which feature of python do you like most? i cannot chose one but here is my list:
iterpreter (i can try out things at once) dir(obj) (using dir() i can learn a new library quickly) identation (code is readable, no need for {} and ;) dynamictyping (no type declaration -> less code to write) lightweight oo (no public/protected/private -> less code to write) widespread (it's easy to find a python module for any kind of task) built-in types (creating list, dict is easy, iterator protocol wins) generators (creating an iterator is easy: replace return with yield) listcomprehension (intuitive and clear way of creating lists) pyrex/swig/boostpython (easily extendible with c/c++) crossplatform (i can write code for my win/linux os) free (yes it's free and it has a reasonable license) comp.lang.python (good questions and even better answers, friendly folks:) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
