Python.....

So today I learnt Python (well the syntax and semantics) and I loved the simplicity it give the user...etc

But anyway, since it's an interpreted language and all how does it compare in terms of system resources and such with other languages such as C/C++ and JAVA.

I see an awful lot of python implemented utilities but I'm not sure if it's because of it's simplicity or something else.

Thanks!

I don't need any advise on that. Having moderate experience with Pascal, JAVA, C and C++ I already know OOp quite well and quite a lot (still not enough tough) of Functional programming.

However I appreciate your concern/advise and hope I didn't come off as a rude person.

Please can anyone address my simple questions namely:

Is python resource intensive compared to C/C++ and JAVA?

Is it used so often just because of it's simplicities?

If not, why is it used so often?
