translating Python to Assembler

[Luis Zarrabeitia]

I second Wim's opinion. Learn python as a high level language, you won't regret it.

About google, I'll give you a little gtip:

Instead of searching 'python.pdb' try the query "filetype:pdb python", or even
"python pdb" (quoted). The first one whould give you files with pdb extension
and python in the name or contents, and the second one (quoted) should return
pages with both words together, except for commas, spaces, dots, slashs, etc.

However... one of the second query results is this thread in google groups...
not a good sign.
