Python. Not you Saint :p

Yeah anyway, I've spent tonight looking for a scripting language to use apart from perl (because regex makes me dizzy) and I think I have found it. Python is by far the easiest language I have learnt since perl, and I am starting to see that it is a rather powerful one too. For anyone interested:

Is a good beginners tutorial in python, and before you ask yes it is possible to make games with it:

And yes it is capable of making an MMORPG. Theres even an OpenGL library floating around for it somewhere. Any questions, just ask :) I hope some of you give it a go, you wont regret it.

Well now that I have mastered VB (Visual Basics) thanks to my computer programming class, and summer is aroudn the corner and I will be starting C/++ next year and I might start learning python, this post just got me back into thinking about it too, since I have downloaded python atleast six months ago.

Python is indeed a fun scripting language experience.

Don't forget to list the main website! It's at http://www.python.org.

How could I forget that?!? Cheers HopeDagger :)

Isn't Python like a hella old programming language?

Yes, but a good one. It's very flexible with anything you want to do.

My personal favorite though is Ruby. OO at it's best!

I've been interested in python for a while. Are there any MMO's out there made in python?

For those of you that already know the basics of how programming work's,

That link is a quick run down of the language, it's what I used to learn the basics of python, but if you are not familiar with programming refer to my first post :)

Python is younger than C++, and C++ is still a hugely popular language. So why judge a language by how old it is? :)

Hmm, well I'll join ya and start learning today.

Python. Not you Saint

But I luuuuurve you!!!

The furthest I really got with Python was making it be a calculator. I haven't had time to sit down and focus on it. I heard you can do some good things with it though.

i've always thought of python just never tried it
also vb is very easy i learned it on my tod :)

And the best thing is, you can use python as a scripting language within a Java app.... So you can use it as a modding fromework if you are making a Java based client.

quick question, can it do networking and servers and clients and all that stuff? If it can, screw learning C++, straight to python xD, get a head start for my comp programming class xD!

//edit
Hmm... The answer to my question I think would be yes because I just saw something saying "A multiplayer top-down space-shooter strategy game." so I'm guessing it has multiplayer xD! The games actually look pretty good and python is actually a simple language xD!

Yes it can, and damn easily too ;)

To be completely honest I havnt seen alot python cant do..

Darn it now i dont know what to do. I learned VB, And i wanted to start learning C++ but now TLM introduced me to python and its looks SIMPLE AND EASY TO LEARN. Now i dont know what to choose :confused: guys help me out. Which one should i got with?
