Seeking PYTHON or Whatever Advice

Seeking advice. I read an article (FoxTalk) on using Python to read and
update (ODBC) FoxPro tables with Python. Being a FoxPro type (with plans to
port it to Linux) this intrigues me.

I bought the book. I'm in the process of reading the book (the first time).

A while back, someone (on this list I think) made what I took to be
discouraging remarks about Python. Something about it being too noisy or
too wordy.

Would anyone like to elaborate on this?

Would anyone like to recommend a better approach?

Thanks,

George
