<p>On the first and third Thursday of the month there are python classes at pumpingstationone <a href="http://pumpingstationone.org/2012/05/learn-programming-with-python-office-hours/">http://pumpingstationone.org/2012/05/learn-programming-with-python-office-hours/</a></p>
<p> I'm going to try to attend to help with beginners and more advanced people will be there to help with experienced people.</p>
<p>I use python on a Mac and instead of using the default install I install homebrew and brew install python.</p>
<p>So, there are a few different ways people deal with python on macs.<br>
* homebrew install<br>
* python install from the python site<br>
* default Mac install (meh)</p>

I have basic questions for someone that has not really developed on Unix, coded in Python or object oriented language, making sure I install at the root directory on Apple, how I make the version I am installing the default when starting Python, etc, etc, etc, etc.<br>
