Thanks, your answer is correct!<br />
<br />
Before awarding you the points maybe you can help me with pointing in the right direction for a quick and good Python tutorial, examples, etc as I want to use it for both Windows and Linux environment. I am a DBA with a company that uses both OS as we have MS-SQL and MySQL databases with MySQL under Linux servers. <br />
<br />
I am thinking to start using Python because it works in both environments. I am interested in particularly working with database connections.<br />
<br />
Thanks!

I'm not a Python expert by any means, but I got started with the documentation listed here:<br />

From what you describe, it sounds like this book would also be valuable:<br />

Print doesn't work in Python 3.0 under windows

Python is a widely used general-purpose, high-level programming language. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability, and its syntax allows programmers to express concepts in fewer lines of code than would be possible in other languages. Python supports multiple programming paradigms, including object-oriented, imperative and functional programming or procedural styles. It features a dynamic type system and automatic memory management and has a large and comprehensive set of standard libraries, including NumPy, SciPy, Django, PyQuery, and PyLibrary.
