Why eat Pie? Because it's tasty.

So....I changed my mind and put this together today instead.....

1. It's a higher level programming language and can therefore run on any computer type effectively. Low level languages will generally need to be rewritten for another type of computer. Here we don't have that kind of problem.

2. Tied into the reason above, we have the fact that as a high level language it's super quick to write programs.

3. You can use it to do neat little tricks. Say for example you have a bunch of files you want to search through but maybe you only want the results to be your power point files. You can write a script (which is just a text file with some code in it) and ensuring all your results are only power point files. Maybe it's not the best of all examples but just think to yourself of all the times you;ve thouhgt to yourself that your computer isn't doing excalty what the hell you want it to? Knowing Python, the chance are that you could whip up a little program to do it for you pretty quickly.

4. Everyone is writing "apps" nowadays right and maybe you're thinking to youself something along the lines of damn.....if only I knew how to do that too. Learn python and you'll be in a position to knock them out like a porn star.

5. So you can work on little projects for homeuse or you can put together some heavy machinery in the form of online applications/mobile apps. ....I'm not sure how much more convincing you need to be honest...I mean Google uses python. The guy who invented the language is now working for them and I imagine he isn't too worried about what kind of pension he's going to have to live off.
