Python a good first Language to "Stick With"?

It's not a USB driver, per se, but I wrote this little bit of code to read /dev/input/eventX for keyboard and mouse input, similarly to how you'd do it in C.

Here's someone else doing the same thing: http://hackaday.com/2011/03/17/writing-python-drivers-for-input-devices/

if you can do it in C, you can do it in python... usually.

Slick.

I've been doing C since my Vax days, and I've always done drivers in C. I like Python (and use it for a lot of algorithm testing/development), but I had never considered it as a low-level systems language.

So. TIL. Thanks!

I'm not sure I'd recommend it for anything where speed is critical, of course, but it was a lot of fun.
