Tic-Tac-Toe - A Python game

Python? Is that one of the coolest programming languages? Yes it is -:)
So yes, I started learning Python a couple of weeks ago...a month maybe...so how did it started?

I knew Python by name for quite a long time ago...doing Ruby stuff I knew that Ruby inherit a lot from Python (from Perl as well), but I never give it too much of attention.

One day, I said to myself...you must try Python dude! It looks like a nice one...so I put myself in the journey of learning a new programming language.
Most Python people say "Python is easy to learn, it's sexy, it makes write beautiful code"...and you know what? It's damn true -:)

So, as part of my learning process I took a Tic-Tac-Toe I made on Ruby 5 years ago and ported to Python...believe or not...the code is more robust and I managed to cut to 38 less lines...nice, huh?

So here's the code...and keep in mind that I'm a Python newbie...so don't came to me with your "Oh, if you were a real Pythonist, you should thing like this"...because I'm not a Pythonist...at least not yet -;) I'm an ABAPist -:P
