Why python instead of squeak ?

- Python was inspired from SmallTalk and is compatible with the GPL.
- Runs on unix, Mac, PC
- It is well documented.
- It tends to favor simplicity.
- There are binding for many GUI Framework (wxWidget, pygtk, pygame, tkinter ...)
- Nice function/method calling capabilities (positional parameters,
named parameters, defaults).
- And it has an impressive collection of features, and they are well
implemented. Classes, exception handling, name spaces, collections,
reflexive programming and networking are all built in and all cleanly
implemented.
