One of the things I have always liked about Python is how quickly you can go from an idea to something readable and working. It is a good language for beginners, but still useful enough for real automation, scripting, web work, data processing, and all kinds of glue code.
Here is a simple welcome message for the group:
def welcome_group(group_name):
message = f"""
Welcome to {group_name}.
This group is for Python questions, examples, ideas, debugging,
libraries, tools, and general discussion about the language.
Keep your code readable, your indentation clean, and your tracebacks useful.
"""
print(message.strip())
if __name__ == "__main__":
welcome_group("comp.lang.python")
Looking forward to seeing what people are building with Python.
