I am quite comfortable with C/C++ but I felt that another language would surely help me. So, I decided that Python would be good language to start as I have heard many people talking about Python. I have the following questions :

  • Where do I start for Python ?
  • Do I have a compiler like Visual Studio for Python ? I use VS2010 for C/C++

Thanks in Advance.

    I really enjoyed learning python from the python essential reference

    As for the compiler part: Visual Studio is not a compiler. It’s an IDE that uses the MSVC compiler. Python on the other hand is a interpreted dynamic language (well… it’s not actually interpreted, as the interpreter compiles a module into bytecode when it imports it for the first time, so it’s a bit of both, but these are technicalities that you need not worry about when you start learning the language)

    For python you need:

    1. the python iterpreter: http://www.python.org/getit/
    2. an editor of your choice. I personally enjoy emacs, but if you’re into the IDEs, then you could use PyDev or komodo or many many others.
