where can i get Python and can i run it on XP?
i could prob google this but i'd rather hear it from Ishy

You can get it from

And yes, it runs on XP.

You can get Python Here:

And here's a tutorial on some basic functions:

I haven't used Python myself, so I don't know how accurate the tutorial is.

whaT??? i hate python, i think visual basic is the way to go, you can make visually appealing things with out even knowing how to code

That is the exact reason I despise it. There is no skill involved. Visually oriented languages piss me off to no end.

Boom!!! Biatch.

i like them because i can rapidly develop something for other people. i myself do not care if the code is bulletproofed or looks nice, i just find that more people are more into visual apps

what all is python used for?

Merely because you know the language. Given sufficient time to learn the nuances of any language you will see productivity.

@Garret722, anything you want to use it for, or nearly so. Google uses it in hundreds of places all over its operations. Youtube is written mainly in Python. There are hundreds of desktop programs written in it. And it is a very good tool for learning about algorithmic processes (computer science stuff). Plus a few things I probably don't know about.

NASA uses python, i do know C++ (first language i learned) ,C (programming the schools robot) and visual C# (learned for grade 12 programming because i already knew vb)
