Alrighty, I'll be writing my first practical, useful Python code to solve an actual problem in a paying gig.

If you've used it extensively, anyone got any tips before I begin fucking up, rewriting, debugging, fucking up, & rewriting again?

After a few days o' Python, I've decided this language rocks ass. Fucking unbelievable. Someone finally cranked out a good scripting\functional language. Haskell came close, but Python drilled it.

This is the one where indentation is part of the syntax?

Yea, it's whitespace sensitive, but it causes a minimum of problems.

There's two things wrong with that statement.
It's not me, it's someone else.
