PDF format?  What format you prefer doesn't have much to do with it, has it?
It's all the same content.  I myself prefer HTML for reading by the
computer, and PostScript for printing.

Anyway, I don't particularily recommend the tutorial in the standard docs.
Alan Gauld's "Learning to Program" is better for a beginner, IMO.
It can be found on http://www.crosswinds.net/~agauld/ or as a dead-tree book
by the name of "Learning to Program Using Python", published by
Addison-Wesley.

Don't hire one mentor, get 1031 tutors for free! <wink>
