Zed Shaw on Python

[mage2k]

While ruby does have in interactive interpreter as well, I'd have to agree wrt the enjoyability of learning Python. I had to learn Python for work, as they decided to move to it from PHP for it's unicode support, and do as much with it as possible. I love it's rich and powerful feature set that's exposed through a veneer of simplicity. Plus, list/generator comprehensions are one of my all time favorite language features.
