Good time of day, habravchane.
I write some of the server part in scripting languages: mostly perl, sometimes php. Now I have some free time, so I think, to broaden my horizons, study python and rewrite a couple of scripts with perl. What do you advise, is it better than the same perl? And what interpreters, editors and literature for a beginner can I look at?

Facepalm. I can imagine such a topic on replies @ mail.ru, but on Habré ... If you want to understand “whether it is better than perl”, then start with Yandex or Google. And from Wikipedia. Everything is written there in detail, there will be where to start. We live in the 21st century, that's why the Internet is needed!

To get acquainted with the basics of the language, algorithms and data structures, there is a good course in the form of Ipython notebooks.

Thanks to all who posted.
As literature I read dive into python and www.intuit.ru/department/pl/python/1/. The interpreter installed ActivePython. VS2010 went as an IDE.
