Python is a cool programming language which has the right mix of useability with speed - It is a good all round tool and ideal for my to use at home for automation of devices. In the time it would take to write a C code to open a file, I can parse webpage, control heating, run home intranet services and monitor my monthly downloads.

I started to learn python (started with 2.2!) in 2006 and two years later, python 3 appeared in a very alpha state. The majority of my code has been written in Python 2.x and it still works. Recently, I've been parsing a lot of hungarian text with lots of non-english based accents and switching over to python3 make everything work smoothly. I've not really noticed any problems with my coding, outputs or libs except forgetting the () when typing print for debugging
