[edit] Why Python?
People who don't code in Python don't appreciate Python. I believe it takes one big project that is behind schedule coded in Python to really help people appreciate Python. When you're maxed out, and you just want to focus on getting something working, then Python is there to save you.
I love Python because I don't have to think about Python when I write Python code. It's like how I love English because I don't have to think about English when I use it!
[edit] Fedora 7 Notes
Fedora 7 ships with Python 2.5. These are the packages you need if you intend to do development on Python:
- python
- python-devel
- python-docs: Puts the docs in /usr/share/doc/python-docs-2.5. Browse to /usr/share/doc/python-docs-2.5/html/index.html.
You'll want to get Python/easy-install running. Here's how:
$ wget http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py $ sudo python ez_setup.py
That's it.
