I'm Flying On Python


I got a book on Python at the Orlando Orange County main library: "Learning Python" by Mark Lutz and David Ascber. I didn't know that Python was an interpreted language i.e. a language that is compiled into byte code to be converted to machine code only during every execution through Python's bytecode translator. I would like to learn how to program in CPP without an environment (IDE): just a plain text editor and a the compiler for me. The book says that about half a million to a million people are programming in Python. I wonder how many people program in C++. What are the odds?
