As a person who has learned C++ and PHP, how easy is Python to get into? Pros and cons versus PHP? Figured I'd ask in here since it doesn't really warrant its own thread.

I say this as someone who's been paid to write both PHP and Python and is currently paid to do...both Wow, sounds like something I'd like to learn. What books do you python developers recommend? Something with examples since I learn best with it. How does a program work anyways? I know for PHP you can just write the code into the php file and execute it (printing hello world in index.php and going to index.php), but I never seen any websites with anything that'll indicate it runs off python code. edit: oh yea, main reason I am interested in it cause I noticed for sites like codegolf.com where programmers from many languages compete for shortest code, python is usually way shorter than php with perl leading as the smallest amount of coding. cLin fucked around with this message at 23:48 on Feb 2, 2008 |

Any books or online tutorials you recommend? I am sort of understanding the difference between the two and would like to learn more

Thanks guys, links are all bookmarked. I just realized I should start learning javascript as well seeing how the projects I have been working on lately all required some form. But I must learn Python, it looks like a clean language.
