A ProgrammingLanguage.
Python is "the other scripting language". It is more elegant and better suited to larger projects than its sibling [Perl].
+
+It is rather unusual in that indentation (leading whitespace) is used for syntactical scoping (ie matters). (Which contributes the making it easier to read than Perl, not that you have to work hard to make something easier to read than Perl.)
Check it out at http://www.python.org and also the Python Wiki http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/moinmoin/.
The import script for the wiki was written in python, have a look (at my appauling code): http://coders.meta.net.nz/conv.py
