Like to lear a language.

[Joe Creaney]

I found out that I have Python with windows XP and I am interested in 
learning some programming as a hobby.  How difficult or complex is 
python as a computer language.  Most of the experience I have is badly 
out dated.  Most of my experience comes from learning basic on a TI 
computer and apple in the 80s.  More recently I have been reading up on 
Perl but can't get it to function on my computer.
