> compiled python programs that can be emailed I learned Python programming almost 20 years ago by also writing a small script on my Linux machine (a Mandrake distribution), running it through py2exe and then copying it on a floppy disk, then get to work and use that .exe program to automate some stuff for me there. That proved to me that programming can be very helpful sometimes, as in that example it provided me with lots of free time during work, on the behalf of the stuff I had just "automated" for myself. Very good times.
