First impressions of Python

I've used Python a little over the past year. I think it's superb. The loose typing and everything-as-an-object idea really works for a scripting language. The simplicity of using indentation to delineate blocks was a major appeal. It reminded me of Occam, which I used way back in 1992.

Coming from a real-time critical system background, loose-typing is a bit of an anathema, but I'm largely converted. Not for critical systems, where languages such as Ada should be used, but for general use, and scripting in particular, it rocks.
