i'm starting a yahoo group for learning python. Each day, a tip of python will be shown, with the perl equivalent. For those of you perlers who always wanted to learn python, this is suitable. (i started it because i always wanted to switch to python but too lazy and always falling back to a lang i am an expert at, but frustrated constantly by its inanities and incompetences.)
i'll cross post to comp.lang.perl.misc and comp.lang.python. If you spot mistakes, feel free to correct or discourse here.
if you are a perl expert and wanted to learn python, i believe after a month of this list we'll be python experts. This serves us as a means to cross the Rubicon. Xah x...@xahlee.org http://xahlee.org/PageTwo_dir/more.html

What language are you an expert at? It certainly isn't Perl.

No. Perl may have some interesting idiosyncrasies, especially for a programmer with little or no Unix experience, but I find it neither frustrating, inane nor incompetent. The more I use it, the more I like it.
