Hi,

Python is quite a popular language. That's all I got to say

[BHX]

Python is popular. Perl, Lua, Ruby are also equally popular I believe.

Yes, Python has been around since 1991 and its still kicking.

PS Incidentally, Python has been the main auxillary language at all the places I've worked over the last decade (all Windows C++ houses); it's used to write scripts for testing, building, the more complicated bulk code alterations (using regex), and the like.
