for the list, I want to learn python and write a few things. Even willing later to help people learn it. Tried banging my poor head against perl for a spell, all I got was camel cooties...
Hi Kirk, Welcome! There's a section on Python.org for newcomers to the Python language: http://python.org/doc/Newbies.html and it has quite a few tutorials there that you can look at. The Edu-sig mailing list is for educational issues, such as school curricula and the Computer Programming For Everyone (CP4E) project; it might not be the best place to ask "newbie" questions on Python. Instead, you may find the Tutor mailing list a good place to ask questions: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor Best of wishes to you.
