  The official tutorial is still a good place to start; see
! http://www.python.org/doc/ for online and downloadable versions.
! Aaron Watters wrote a second tutorial, that may be more accessible for
! some: http://www.networkcomputing.com/unixworld/tutorial/005/005.html.
! Both tutorials (as well as most other sources) assume that you already
! know how to program -- if you'd like to write "Python for Dummies", I
! know a publisher who would like to talk to you...
! 
! There are now also several books on Python.  The first book is the
! most recent and covers Python 1.5.X.  The other two books, both
! first published in October 1996 and both including a CD-ROM, form
! excellent companions to each other.  Though these two are still based
! on Python 1.3 or 1.4, the information in them is still 99% correct.

  All subdirectories created will have Python's version number in their
  name, e.g. the library modules are installed in
! "/usr/local/lib/python1.5/" by default.  The Python binary is
! installed as "python1.5" and a hard link named "python" is created.
  The only file not installed with a version number in its name is the
  manual page, installed as "/usr/local/man/man1/python.1" by default.
