This perks me up.  I learned Python in the early 2000s and I have been<br>
rewarded by it ever since, so I get enthused when others talk about<br>
learning an easy to use, high level programming language.<br>
<br>
Here are some URLs for this excellent project you have the idea of:<br>

<br>
I love programming, although I hardly do it.  Maybe there should be a<br>
secondary KWLUG meeting just for meeting programmers, or those curious<br>
about it.<br>
<br>
Let us know how it goes! :-)<br>
