I don't have more of a C background than a one-semester course in
university. But the details between the languages are night and day. I
am enjoying Python. I recently heard that Python is like writing
psuedo-code that runs. I am seeing that this is true. I especially
love the use of indentation for block demarcation.

Error are certainly the best way to learn.

Thanks.
