Hello everyone,
I have a written a book on Python which serves as a tutorial or
guide for anyone who wants to learn Python. It specifically targets
beginners but experienced programmers can benefit a lot with the
special notes for them.
The chapters are :
Contents at a Glance
1. Introduction
2. Installing Python
3. First Steps
4. Basics
5. Operators and Expressions
6. Control Flow
7. Functions
8. Modules
9. Data Structures
10. Problem Solving - Writing a Python Script
11. Object-Oriented Programming
12. Input/Output
13. Exceptions
14. The Python Standard Library
15. More Python
16. What Next?
17. Appendices
* Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS)
* About
The book is located at :

During my first brush with Python, I felt there was a need for a good
introductory guide to Python, and recent discussions on comp.lang.python
reinforce that. I hope this book helps fill that void.
This is my first attempt at writing anything so huge and so I am looking
forward to your suggestions and criticisms so that I can further improve the
book.
Thanks,
