[ale] Pyhon syntax

[Benjamin Scherrey]

Python has incredibly wide module support - very competitive to perl. 
That is, indeed, one of my reasons for putting off doing anything 
significant with ruby - despite the really cool 'ruby with rails' 
project that has come out. I can connect to any database, perform any 
web/internet functionality, talk to hardware and utilize 
platform-specific features (its windows support is just as strong as its 
linux support) with python easily. I think you'll be pleasently 
surprised in this regard.

    good luck,
