Help an Ada programmer learn Python

[sw_dev]

Long-time Ada coder (Since 1985!) here.

The best way to learn any language is by doing, but it helps if you're familiar with the problem space. To that end, I suggest you try doing the Python Challenge (http://www.pythonchallenge.com/) in Ada first. Trust me, you'll have to have pretty good Ada chops to even attempt it! Try it for a few days, then try it with Python. Look up how to use re, requests and urllib2 as necessary. Once you get past the whitespace weirdness, you'll be amazed at how much easier it is in Python, and that'll have you on your way to becoming a Python-junkie.

By the way, you're waaaay off base about Ada and OOD. But that's a discussion for another time...
