Hi all, I'm just going through the tutorial on codeacademy now and I have a few questions:

1 What are the limits of this language? I hear that x,y,z program is good at/for this or that.. What exactly does that imply? Can you write AIs with Python?

2 How well does Python retrieve information from other places? For instance, I just went through some import functions. Thats fine, what if I wanted it to take information from other running processes? What about other 3rd party processes, when does security interfere and how do you learn to work with it?

3 Any other good resources post codeacademy? Or just start doing various projects and teach yourself?

hopefully i'm asking "the right questions"

Limitations of python are gui and security. A lot of things that aren't built in to python have wrappers and even though fairly light still take longer than native. There really is no security built in to python as far as validation goes.

Just my two cents.

I went through code academy for the first set of lessons then just did it on my own and learned more quickly.
