If you've grasped the concepts behind ActionScript (which are similar 
to most programming languages) -- that is objects, data structures, 
variables and so forth -- you're in a good position to learn a bit 
about Python and then study the Python objects Poser exposes. After 
that you'll likely know enough to get started. A great resource for 
learning a bit about Python is Mark Pilgrim's book "Dive into Python". 
He has made the entire book freely available on the web in a variety of 
formats:
