>I moved over to python a few years ago from VFP (at the suggestion of someone here). Very easy transition: I even converted a lot of my old VFP classes across.

I tried it briefly, and came along quite well with it. I would recommend anyone to install it, if only to have a super-calculator!

I didn't continue investigating the GUI; that looked a little more complicated, since third-party tools had to be downloaded (if I understand it correctly). Can you tell us about your experiences there?

I understand some VFP programmers developed some sort of framework for Python, that would make it quite familiar to VFP programmers (e.g., data-binding in a visual environment). But I can't remember the name right now.

Some of the features I especially liked (after a quick preview):

The built-in command window, like in VFP.

The scope of IF, WHILE, etc. are determined solely by indentation. (Hardly a language has this...)

The above is just one example of lots of special syntax that make the language much more compact (IIRC, they claim 3-5 times more compact than Java?)
