Following your posting, I just took a look, to get a quick overview, especially of Python, and found it extremely interesting.

Here I have two questions, that aren't clear to me.

1) Is the language compiled for each platform (C-style), interpreted by some sort of virtual machine (Java-style), or what?

2) Does it work with Unicode, or have some other mechanism for supporting multiple languages?

TIA,

Hilmar.
