I thought I'd dip into .NET by downloading the free Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition, and start working through _Beginning Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition_, by Peter Wright (Apress).
By the second chapter I've begun to suspect that GUIs aside, Python is a lot simpler to write. Could someone prove that to me by translating the code I've pasted at <http://py77.python.pastebin.com/f24d74b17> (from pp. 51-54 of the book), which prints Butch barks Mac yips Butch snarls at you in a menacing fashion. Mac licks you all over, then drools on you. in the console? I'd sure appreciate it, and it might be another bit of good PR for Python. Please use classes in your translation.
