However, Casio recently added Python support to their graphical calculators and I thought I would use this impetus to finally knuckle down to Python! Accordingly I have been looking at IDE's. Sadly on every occasion I sat down to make a positive start I was quickly persuaded that anything I might want to do with Python I already knew how to do in much more comfort using Perl.

Perhaps because of this I have never learned Python, although I have tried to do so many times.

I have done so entirely as a hobbyist with the luxury to dabble as I chose in the programmes that interested me most at the time. I have been programming in BASIC, Assembler, C/C++, and Perl for more than forty years when it comes to the older languages.
