Google I/O 2008 - Painless Python Part 1 of 2

Painless Python for Proficient Programmers
Alex Martelli (Google)

Python is a popular very-high-level programming language, with a clean and spare syntax, simple and regular semantics, a large standard library and a wealth of third-party extensions, libraries and tools. With several production-quality open-source implementations available, many excellent books, and growing acceptance in both industry and academia, Python can play some useful role within a huge variety of software development projects.

Moreover, Python is really easy to learn, particularly (though not exclusively) for programmers who are skilled at such languages as Java, C++ and C. This talk addresses software developers who are experienced in other languages but have had limited or no exposure to Python yet, and offers a rapid overview of the main characteristics of the language, plus a brief synopsis of its main implementations, its standard library, and Python's use with Google App Engine.

I like the pronunciation. It's funny they found an english speaking person with this a bit upper class english that sounds like it's from Monty Python (Graham Chapman?). It's a nice tribute.

I don't understand much of it (not right now at least), but it's nice vid. Maybe I wtch it again.
