Just recently I wanted to write a little script that would work on Windows XP on Linux and on Windows MobileI thought about PHP but it was a bit complecated for the windows mobil, then I looked at Python, and I was really impressed with the opportunities of programming with this language! To say briefly: Python is very simple programming language, object oriented programming is available, a lot of build in modules allowing to work with almost every area of the host operating system,and there are lot of other things to say about this language. I'll just copy and paste first paragraph from http://python.org website:

Python is a dynamic object-oriented programming language that can be used for many kinds of software development. It offers strong support for integration with other languages and tools, comes with extensive standard libraries, and can be learned in a few days. Many Python programmers report substantial productivity gains and feel the language encourages the development of higher quality, more maintainable code.
