[NTLUG:Discuss] tcl or python

[Leroy Tennison]

I decided to learn tcl because of tk and it's ability to produce GUI 
programs on linux.  I'm currently reading "Tcl and the Tk Toolkit" and 
having more reservations the further I get into it (should I be reading 
something else?).  Tcl is beginning to look like a programmer's "mine 
field" with all kinds of subtle surprises for the uninitiated due to 
deferred processing.  Although tcl can be used on Cisco which is a plus, 
I'm beginning to ask if I should change focus to python after the recent 
post.  Can someone who knows both comment on the relative strength and 
weaknesses of the two?  Thanks for the input.
