Python Programming

Anybody who has ever used C++, JAVA e.t.c and later used a scripting will tell you the beauty of scripting. Most scripting languages come loose typed. By loose typed, I mean that you don't declare variables on the top of the code, as with C++, JAVA e.t.c. Though a conduit for messy code, it is quite helpful to the programmer who wishes to do minimal code.
For those in python, they will agree with me that the going can't get smoother. Considering the power in python and the ease of coding, then programming becomes easier for the novice. Forget about braces every now and then, python only uses indentation in its syntax. You may say that this is worse than braces but try using the default python editor (IDLE) and you'll change your mind as this is done automatically.
And for those who want to test small code snippets, you don't have to create new files and stuff, you got a command line to run your scripts on the fly.

So guys, more so in Africa, let the python swallow you!!
