"A little while back, I decided I wanted to learn Python. Knowing some local Python fanatics, I was not exactly uneducated in the relative merits of the language, and although I mainly used C++ and Qt for GUI programming, I was increasingly wanting to write some GNOME software with Python. Although Qt made GUI programming easier, it seemed to me that Qt was mainly suited towards writing huge, complex tools; the kind of tools that Trolltech showcase on their website. I don't deny that Qt is an incredible product, but I was keen on writing software easier.
