Beauty of Python

I've always had a hatred for Python, slow with horrible syntax.

However, I've just found an advantage. One of Project Euler's problems is to find the last ten digits of:

The other day I read about had Python handles integers, it can handle integers using as much memory as your computer has without requiring any external libraries (which C and C++ does, they only have in-built support for 64 bit integers which isn't enough).

So I opened Python's command line interface and typed the following:

mso 9]>

>>> a=0

>>> for i in range(1,1001):

...     a=a+pow(i,i)

...

>>> print(a)

Problem solved, quickly as well!

So I guess Python does have it's benefits.
