I've Been Snake Bitten
I need to get up to speed on a project where I'll be using Python as the programming langauge. Normally I would spend the time to read a book about Python and then start programming with it. However, I heard Bruce Eckel's interview on Java Posse and at one point he actually said he thought he was "10 times more productive while programming with Python" when compared to Java.

So I decide to simply try and write a utility in Python. Overall it turned out OK and I found programming in Python is pretty easy to do. If the date and and Filelinks management portions of the langauge are any indicator of how everything is done in Python I should have no problem in the future.

For better or worse below is what I wrote. I'm sure the Python gurus could give me some pointers but a person needs to start somewhere and this is me starting. I wrote this because I grew tired of tiring to remember what Podcasts I subscribe to were sync'ed to my MP3 player recently.


A utility that searches through existing podcast Playlist directories in order to find recent mp3 files. Once a file is found that is less than or equal to 3 days old it is copied to the "RECENT PODCASTS" playlist.
