What is this?

Many of my co-workers and class-mates have been asking me what Python can actually be used for, so I decided to start this blog demonstrating some of the ways that I have been employing its power and simplicity.

I am by no means a Python expert, but I like it quite a bit. I have been using it to perform little tasks at work and school for a while now and hope that by seeing some of my examples, you can see what it might be able to do for you. Each post here will contain a code snippet that I have created to help perform some task. I won't be really talking much about events happening in the Python community - there are plenty of other blogs for that. Here is a blog of simple, practical examples that might come in handy.
