Python graph
Python is an interpreted programming language (also called a scripting language), created in 1990 by Dutch programmer Guido van Rossum, following his experience working on the education-focused ABC language at CWI. Python differs from other programming languages, as it prioritizes code readability and use of whitespace over compact, tiny source files. 8.2 million developers use Python.

Source 8 lists many free resources that can be used to learn Python.

My Python Thoughts

by David KC COLE ( David@ColeCanada.com )

Python does active garbage collecting.
Python has a very very large function library
Python runs under Windows, Linux and even under Raspbian on the inexpensive Raspberry Pi computers.
Python can control electronics such as the Raspberry GPIO pins
Python 2 routines are slightly not compatible with Python 3 code
Python provides good access to the Linux command line.
Python runs the Raspberry Pi for the electronics part of the Meh In Charge website.
See notes at Meh In Charge - ABOUT - Help
I have not yet tried out PyPy.
