I'm hearing people recommend I try Python quite a bit. I may very well give it a try. I'm not sure why other than a school friend recommending it, but whenever I think "programming", I always think of C files and CPP files, so my first option was to try the C programming language and then C++. I heard that the Battlefield 2 engine was written on Python, or perhaps I could be mistaking it for another engine, but it seemed pretty cool knowing of something that was finally written on something else.
