We started out using python programming for the absolute <br>beginner. It was good, but didn't use pygame and was mostly text based until the <br>last 2 chapters. Another book for reference is Game Programming: The L Line, <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1303256914_14">The <br>Express Line</span> to Learning. We also wanted to use OOP and at the time that was not <br>in either, or we didn't like the format. We now use our own material we put <br>together from numerous texts, and from some members of the local python meetup <br>group who have donated their time and expertise. It's been great!<br>Good luck to you!<br><br>Pat</font><br></div><div style="font-family: times new

Hello,<br><br>I am planning to teach Python to a group of high school students, who have in-depth interest in programming, hacking etc.<br><br>I am looking for some good material, what I could use as a basic guide when preparing the classes plan for the course - website or book, what would roll out the topic methodologically gradually. The target audience is someone who knows most basics of the programming, but doesn't mind being reminded about them now and then.<br><br>Thanks for any suggestions!<br><br>Passiday<br>-- <br><span><a target="_blank" href="http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list">http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list</a></span><br></div></div>
