I just installed python I might start with 3. But there is version 2 out
too. So far I can '3+4' and get the answer. Nice. I typed the linux man page
and got a little info. So to learn this language is there an online
tutorial? I am interested in the scripting too.

learning a second language for mathematical purposes. I am considering
looking at python, perl, fortran, Adas out. It looked too complicated to
learn. Perl looked easy and I haven't really looked into python.
