And here I've just taken a half-assed plunge into an online MIT course, "Introduction to Computer Science and Programming Using Python" ..  (was a little distressed when Big Brother's own product, Chrome, was at the top of suggested browsers.. and of course the forums are full of Winblows boneheads.)  Anyways, I do recall having read negative viewpoints on Python from purist coders' perspectives..  would y'all suggest I just return to the K&R C of my school daze?  

No. C is a nasty language.

Use Eiffel instead!
