I've been interested in toying around with Python, but it's generally a Linux or Unix based pre-installed language that can be accessed from the shell prompt. I just found out that I've been living under a rock. ActiveState, provider of Perl for Windows' based machines, have created a package for Python under different operating systems, Windows being one of them. Time to download and start playing around!

Now, should I integrate it into my Apache server, or just use it in the shell? I could use mod_py with Apache to make Python based web applications... Ha! Cool!

ActivePython

There's an Enterprise Edition listed on their main page, as they want to make money on their IDE and services, but there's a link on the right hand side under "Downloads" that points to "ActivePython Free Distribution". I'm linking to their main page because I'm sure that's where they'd want to be linked to originally.
Out of curiosity, I just looked up Ruby for Windows... I found a "One-Click Installer", or as it's called and touted, at the following URL:
http://rubyinstaller.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl. Now, because of the musings of Veracon, I doubt I'll be getting in to Ruby, or Ruby on Rails...but it's still neat to integrate things into my Apache web server for the hell of it, just to see if I can.
