I've been given a technical test to complete as part of a job application, for which I'm free to use a language of my choice (although the recruiter adds: "We suggest using one of C#, Java, C++, Perl or Python because those are the languages we can grok best, but if you'd rather use something else then we'll do our best to figure it out."). Call me a technophobe, but I'm nervous about installing anything on my clunky home PC that might make other applications run slower. Has anyone here had experience of using Python on a home computer?
