If you have never looked at Python before as far as I can tell it is extremely easy. Far easier than Java. I had a little look at it and played with some of the basics. The syntax, at least on a basic level, is such that 10 lines of Java == maybe 3 lines of Python . So don't let that put you off
As a language though I think Python may still need a bit of work from what I read. Bugs and what-not.
