Python Newbie

[Károly Ladvánszky]

Hi Edy,

I completely agree with you that it is both more efficient and more
entartaining to learn a programming language through working on a useful
task.
If you are a student, I'd advise you pick up an interesting math problem and
work on it using Python. I'm sure your teacher will be happy to help you
find something.
This way you will make progress in both math and Python.

Good luck,

Károly

P.S.
Set theory could be a good candidate. As far as I know, Pyhton has no set
handling module.
Consider building a Set class based on Python's universal list structure,
add functions for union, intersection etc..
Do not forget that a list can contain almost anything, not just simply data
types.
