Good size brain there partner!
Python is an interpreted programming language. I was looking for a READABLE
programming language available in the public domain that resembled REXX
(REXX is not public domain) and I came upon Python. It looks interesting and
I wanted to try it but I couldn't get the thing to compile.
I thank you for your interest. In the time between my post and now, I've
already got a message from
Theodore Jump, he has compiled Python using the GCC and EGCS systems on
CygWin32.
The binaries are available at : http://www.i21.com/~tjump/files/index.html
They work great. Download them, check out the documents at
http://www.python.org and try your hand at Python programming.
Thanks again.

You've got my attention. I do have roughtly 80 ozs. of brain power to
spare today. But first, what is Python? :)
