Python (finally)

What the heck, I might as well learn Python (finally...)
Python docs here.

Because my current gig (@ROK) utilizes it, might as well. Also, from a support standpoint, it doesn't hurt that a bunch of GOOG meisters use it either.

Glanced at Ruby off and on, but Python (finally) seems more pragmatic for me..

On Linux, Mac, and PC --- use Python 2.7.1 as the baseline.

The TIOBE link emphasizes why this is a good choice.

Also, found out that MIT uses Python heavily.
