Of course Python is a Real Language, it exists, etc, yes. But it's not a Real Programming Language.
You see, everyone using python, ruby, perl, php, and other similar platforms - we're not programming, we're just scripting. The difference is so extreme, that, well... if you don't understand, I'm not going to bother explaining.
Sorry too - I should have added a sarcasm tag (or, more appropriately, a sarchasm tag).
I've been doing PHP for 16 years (among other things), and have grown tired of the "scripting vs whatever" debates/comments/remarks/jibes/etc over the years. That didn't come across enough in my original post - sorry. :/
(with-devils-advocacy
A Real Programming Language is one that can be used (and has been used) to implement its own compiler or interpreter
)
That said, by this definition Python qualifies.
Even that isn't a great definition as there have been interpreters for Brainfuck, why probably shouldn't be regarded as a "Real Language", written in Brainfuck:
The notion that python isn't real, is just silly.
