So Python is a scripting language and not a "real programming language"? - What a stupid comment.
Python is a full and mature programming language, lots of software you probably use every day is written in it, like dropbox, calibre, miro or websites like Reddit and YouTube for example.
Sure you can use Python for scripting, but that doesn't mean it isn't a real programming language. It just makes it more versatile than other languages.
