I think this forum needs a section for Python. Why? It's almost perfect for beginners IMO. extremely easy, widely used, has Pygame for 2d, and more. It doesn't have long redundant code either, like BASIC. Can be fast when used with psyco. I also think it should have its own forum section opposed to just going under "Other Languages" so more game dev newbs can see it, and know about it.

The problem is that it just doesn't seem to be a big topic, at least here. Theres only 121 topics and 280 posts with the word Python in them in total, of which only 15 posts are in Other Languages giving me the assumption that the mentioning of Python is often not a question of Python itself. While a separate section may help influence the discussion of Python, I don't believe theres enough initial discussion about it to deserve its own forum section.

Agreed with Spodi. I'd be happy to make a Python forum if we had people discussing Python more often.

Add it. It's a rather silly hole.

The only thing good about Python is the indention practice, because it's very similar to how I indent. Otherwise, it looks to me like someone tried to make a real language of BASIC and gave up when it got hard.

Whitespace dependence is sucky, especially for posting code on the web (I know we have the code tag, but not all software has similar stuff).

if whitespaceDependenceIsGood:
if thisCodeAppearsNicelyInHtml:
if thisForumHasCodeTags:
print("Woo\n")
else:
print("When will this run?\n")
print("View source to find out\n")
