[Pythonmac-SIG] Good way for beginner to get started with Python?

[John Velman]

Thanks to everybody for all the great suggestions.  I'm still sorting them
and passing them on bit by bit.  I'll try to let you know how this all
turns out.  From the suggestions, there are a couple things I want to look
further into myself.  (Old dog wants new tricks).

Best,

John V.
