Learning Python made very easy

Going through many news forums and language communities, I was wondering whats so great about Python compared to Java. The below article satisfied some of my questions.
Python v/s Java side by side

With the advent of multi core processors,the need for a better language has rised and bar for a language to be future language has also rised a lot. So am wondering whether Java or C++ can survive this change.

Anyway whether its good or not,I have started learning Python and it seems very easy,readable and amazing. There are many resources to learn Python and one of my favourite is this online book < Byte of Python>which is very good for beginners. The chapters are well crafted and all the basic requirements and installations are covered step by step,making the journey very easy and relaxed.

I have installed ActivePython and getting started was very easy. Have run some example codes and written some basic code to make myself familiar with the language and as said above the learning curve for python is better than any other languages I have learned so far(except Cobol ;) though)
Thats it for now. May be I will post my hurdles,success (and whatever) of my journey in 2 months.
