How hard is it? I have a friend that uses's it and loves it. You can use it online if you find a server that supports it.

Python is pretty powerful if you learn how to use it properly. However, once you learn Python it'll take some effort to learn another more common language such as C# or Java, cause they're completely different.

Well from what i've learnt so far its dead easy to pick up. You'll make a few mistakes like not adding in commas or not adding speech marks but its alot easier to identify than most other languages. IDLE helps alot!

I'm familiar with Python, but not IDLE. Python is a scripting language, not to be confused with a programming language. It's harder to learn programming languages because they're faster and more efficient.

Python is good, but it's not a Perl replacement - which is what many people see it as. The important thing about any language is knowing it's strengths and weaknesses so that you can apply the right language to the right situation.
