your name is 'geek', it is a programming language.

With a handle like that it is your destiny to learn a bit of all the programming languages just so that when someone talks about inheritance your first thought is of classes and protoypes rather than dead uncles.

when you have learned these things, then you will attempt to write a GUI extension plug-in

Python is a high-level programming language first released by Guido van Rossum in 1991. Python is designed around a philosophy which emphasizes readability and the importance of programmer effort over computer effort. Python core syntax and semantics are minimalist, while the standard library is large and comprehensive. Community practices in Python programming have led to the recognition of a Python philosophy.

Python is a multi-paradigm programming language (functional, object oriented and imperative) which has a fully dynamic type system and uses automatic memory management; it is thus similar to Perl, Ruby, Scheme, and Tcl.

The language has an open, community-based development model managed by the non-profit Python Software Foundation. While various parts of the language have formal specifications and standards, the language as a whole is not formally specified. The de facto standard for the language is the CPython implementation.

Do you want/need to program?

If you do it is a great language to start with, I use it extensively. It can do pretty much anything - but isn't always the best choice.

People are just sarcastic mate don't take offence. You asked a pretty random open ended question without any background info - eg..

Is it worth learning to help with your music? Not really.
Can I write plugins with it? Not really.
Can I use it in combination with Ableton? Sort of.
Is it a snake? YES!!
