Python under Windows XP - feasible ?

[Badger_1610]

Hi,

is it feasible to run Python under Windows XP Sp3 with a view to producing tools and utiliites for file and string manipulation ?

i am looking for Unix type ;

ls $dir > file
for $1 in file do
process file
next

type constructs...

will i need Popen ?
will it work under Win32 ?

- should I stop now and use VB.. before I get to far into this and get dissapointed ?

Any good advice appreciated .

Thanks
Will (aka Badger).
