Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language. It is often compared to Tcl, Perl, Scheme, or Java.
Python combines remarkable power with very clear syntax. It has modules, classes, exceptions, very high level dynamic data types, and dynamic typing. There are interfaces to many system calls and libraries, as well as to various windowing systems (X11, Motif, Tk, Mac, MFC). New built-in modules are easily written in C or C++. It is also usable as an extension language for applications that need a programmable interface.

What's New
Version 3.4.0rc3:
Core and Built-ins:
- Issue #20786: Fix signatures for dict.__delitem__ and property.__delete__ builtins.
- Issue #20839: Don't trigger a DeprecationWarning in the still supported pkgutil.get_loader() API when __loader__ isn't set on a module (nor when pkgutil.find_loader() is called directly).
- Issue #20748: Uninstalling pip does not leave behind the pyc of the uninstaller anymore.
- Issue #20568: The Windows installer now installs the unversioned pip command in addition to the versioned pip3 and pip3.4 commands.
- Issue #20757: The ensurepip helper for the Windows uninstaller now skips uninstalling pip (rather than failing) if the user has updated pip to a different version from the one bundled with ensurepip.
- Issue #20465: Update OS X and Windows installer builds to use SQLite 3.8.3.1.

So, do you indent your code in other languages? Of course you do; it's one of the first things any decent programmer learns to do.
Given that, what's the problem? All it does is help keep the code readable.

I was in an, umm, less than sober state of mind last night and decided I needed a script to change a list of URLs into a list of HTML links. It worked perfectly the first time. I can't think of another language I could have done it in that would have worked as well.
If you have any interest in programming whatsoever, learn python. You'll be a better programmer in any language because of it.

If I need to change a list URLs into a list of HTML links I'll use a quick sed script, thank you.

For learner programmers, python is great to teach syntax of course. An alternative starting language such as C gives you more of an idea about how machines work, but this can be extremely intimidating for those just starting out.
Posting about learning a language on here is perhaps moot, due to the MacPython 2.3 installation present by default which is fine for begginers programming. A new user certainly shouldn't start with beta software.
