I expect that a newbie is better able to use Google then he or she is
able to poke around a Python installation.  Creating a web page is a
good way to serve them.  An added benefit is that people can vote with
their clicks.  If you write a great tutorial, people will find it via
a search engine.  If someone writes a greater tutorial, people can use
it instead.
