Hey HackCommunity, I was thinking about maybe learning python, but I dont know ANYTHING about it. My first question: Can I program mac applications on it? And also, Would you guys recommend me to start learning python for my mac?

Python can be used on any OS as long as the language is installed on the machine and is also a very good starting language

Python is a very powerfull language. If I'm not mistaken is a big piece of Battlefield an Civilization coded in Python. And the language is not that hard.

:o I didn't know that. Is it possible to save the file as anything except a .py? because in this case, the computer has to have python on it in order to run it.

This will help you for .exe:

If you use Jython (a Java implementation of Python) you can also create a runnable .jar file.
Info here: http://wiki.python.org/jython/JythonFaq/...honScripts

However, if you intend to create .exe files all the way you should consider learning a compiled language (i.e. C, C++) instead of Python.
