community's opinion. Could you recommend me please a good AI book to
start with? I don't want to see Lisp code, if possible ;-D
The classic is Winston and Horn's, which uses Lisp. You can think of
it as Python with more parentheses if you want. There's an old book
by Nilsson which is more theoretical.
Have a look at:
http://aima.cs.berkeley.edu/
It's really nicely done.

AIMA Python Code
This file gives an overview of the Python code for the
algorithms in the textbook AI: A Modern Approach. The code
is Copyright (c) 2002 by Peter Norvig and is offered free
of charge for your use. As you may know, the textbook presents
algorithms in pseudo-code format; as a supplement we provide
this Python code as well as Lisp code. The intent is to implement
all the algorithms in both languages, so that you can choose whichever
language you prefer. As yet neither implementation is complete,
but the Lisp version is closer.
