I don't have more of a C background than a one-semester course in university. But the details between the languages are night and day. I am enjoying Python. I recently heard that Python is like writing psuedo-code that runs. I am seeing that this is true. I especially love the use of indentation for block demarcation. > To answer your question, I hope.
