I know quite a few languages fairly fluently, maybe 5 or 6, but for
some reason python was rought at the beginning.  I think it is mostly
because I don't get along well with the API docs (and although it has
gotten better, I still don't like them).

When first learning so much of the sample code I saw seemed
magical ... I had no idea where things were coming from.  One weekend
I read the o'reilly book, learning python I think, from cover to cover
and it helped tremendously.  Now whenever I start a new project I have
to think of a reason to not use python, and it is pretty rare.
