Python is an extremely easy, powerful and cross platform scripting language. If you are interested in learning programming, I can't stress how much you should try out this language. It's very nice for beginners all the way up to experts. We will be writing our very simple cluster software in Python today. I could give some examples of python code here, but instead, I suggest downloading it from the link above and hitting this URL, or this one, or just do a Google search for "python beginner tutorial". Now we'll look at our clustering software "cluster.py"
