[Chicago] python beginner

[Warren Thom]

Hi All,

I am one of the students of Michael Tobis and Ian B. from last year.  I 
really appreciated the help to learn Python.  I think a lot of people liked 
the idea of  parent-child working on the project together.  I even started 
with my son - who is 30 year old.  But he went off and got married and got 
interested in other things.

The problem of costs was not really brought up, and I know things are not 
free.  At Pycon 2007 in Dallas, the lesson day is like $100 for the first 4 
hour class and $70 for the second.  A fair price - but steep for 
parent/child activity.  But then a day at Wrigley Field is not cheap.

Around $200 for two full days is a fair price.  I do find that one can learn 
a lot on their own.  Finding modules and help does support the "Batteries 
included" concept.

I am looking forward to Pycon next week.  How many from Chicago are going?
