<div>My son suggested I play around with Python. I was wondering if anybody has any real life applications? It appears to be able to do quite a lot, but is anybody really doing it with Python? I am very curious about this language. I used to be a Clipper programmer in another life (dBASE compiler), and got sick when I was just entering the OOP world via Visual Basic and had to quit. I just recently got my brain back, thanks to medical science, and would like to learn all I can about what it out there these days.</div>
