the first time I ever heard of Python, the person said it looked like a cross between Modula-2 and C. I still think that's a valid generalization.
I learned to program in Modula-2 (not counting Apple BASIC in high school); and I still think it's a very well-designed language. maybe one of the reasons I like Python is just that the syntax (especially for arrays & such) bears some resemblance to things I'm familiar with.
