That's a pretty harsh statement.  Yes, Python is "easy to learn".  I'm
not convinced that it's easy for /everyone/ to become quickly
productive in Python, however.  I hear from folks who have a project
to start, and they don't want to wait while the participants learn
Python at various different rates to varying degrees of effectiveness.
There's room for training programs, although they're clearly not for
everyone - this newsgroup being a testament to that!

"private" language in the house, I grew up speaking Swedish instead)
