Today Python is easy accessible, simple to learn but also is more modern.
You can write some quite sophisticated apps with Python or even use it for system automatication and hacking. You have with Python less limits than with BASIC back then.

If I’d kids that I wanted to introduce into computer stuff, today I’d give them a Raspi and Python to write their own first games with it.

Is this the only comment?

>>> import pyperclip
>>> pyperclip.copy(‘Hello world!’)
>>> pyperclip.paste

call([‘mymp3player’, ‘-f secret_voice.mp3])

You can execute command line instructions using the call function of the subprocess module:

Ex:

from subprocess import call

call(‘mymp3player’, ‘-f secret_voice.mp3’)
