Really easy and fun
codepad.org for an online interpreter.

Here's an ackermann function:

def ack(m,n):
 if m==3:
  return 2**(n+3)-3
 else:
  if n==0:
   return ack(m-1,1)
  else:
   return ack(m-1,ack(m,n-1))
print ack(4,2)

I've played with Python before. It's very difficult for me to learn when I'm used to C syntax. I'm used to indentation not mattering. However, a few of my friends are learning to program, so I told them to try it, and they like it.

I'm not really used to anything; most of my programs are in vb, which autoindents and does a bunch of stuff for you anyway. I just find python simple to start with: Instead of having to include stdio.h, putting everything in a main sub, and returning 0, you can just start typing. Also, theres not that many exceptions and rules are simple: Colon for indented blocks, no need to end any blocks with special statements, stuff like that.

I like coding Python. So much so that I've tried to get my brother, sister, and even mother to learn it. (none of those lessons got anywhere)
