Python is an elegant language and it is easy to make prototypes in it very fast.
With Python you always have a running program, more or less correct.
Programming with Python feels a bit like modeling clay.

The assembler was my first Python program (170 lines) ever and I learned programming Python
from  the official Python tutorial and  "Learning Python  - 4-edition  , O'Reiilly " by Mark Lutz.

I used GNU Emacs version 24 on Fedora Linux with the standard Python mode,
which has excellent text highlighting and error handling.

The GNU Emacs editor, as an programming environment, is just AMAZING.
You step in a conceptually very well designed new world , boundless, really user friendly and (thus) demanding.
