>From the Python FAQ:

"Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming
language. It incorporates modules, exceptions, dynamic typing, very
high level dynamic data types, and classes. Python combines remarkable
power with very clear syntax. It has interfaces to many system calls
and libraries, as well as to various window systems, and is extensible
in C or C++. It is also usable as an extension language for
applications that need a programmable interface. Finally, Python is
portable: it runs on many brands of UNIX, on the Mac, and on PCs under
MS-DOS, Windows, Windows NT, and OS/2.
-----

Well, the Python interpreter is also available for OpenVMS users.
(Has been for years, by the way...)

This port includes interfaces to many LIB$ and SYS$ routines. That
includes routines like LIB$DELETE_FILE with support for user-action
routines written in Python, LIB$SET_LOGICAL or SYS$CRELNM with item
list support or interfaces to SYS$GETUAI and SYS$SETUAI.
The documentation contains examples for allmost all interfaces.

This isn't a program where you can just type 'A:\SETUP' !
If you want to work with this, then please spend some time with
the documentation. It is available online.
