&gt; &gt; I'm a big C++ programmer but python never fails to astonish
&gt; &gt; me and being both simple to learn while powerfully expressive at the
&gt; &gt; same time. I think its fairly unique in that regard. Python is very
&gt; &gt; object oriented as is C++ but also supports the functional paradigm
&gt; &gt; which, in C++, requires more clumsy and sometimes brain warping
syntax
&gt; &gt; of predicate templates and function objects.
&gt; 
&gt; For a non-programmer who wants to learn at least one language well
enough
&gt; to
&gt; actually use. Would Python make a good choice?

That is the language I recommend.  It has by far the cleanest syntax
I've ever seen, yet have tremendous power as well.  I say &quot;go for it!&quot;

&gt; And no the snake in my barn is not a python:)

Too bad, or we could feed it the rats in the attic.
