Ew python

I'd only write Python as a last resort. If I had nothing else to use, and even then I might look to use C if I could instead. It's not that the language is bad but it's that the tools, support on different platforms is aweful... It would never be my first choice! But then neither would perl, or any shell language so there's that.

"As an example of how useful Python libraries and syntax techniques can be, I will show how to create a list of all 'ext' files in the current directory using the os library:

import os the_files = [file for file in os.listdir(os.getcwd()) if file[-4:]=='.ext']
