To all people intested in getting a beginning book for Python who have =
never programmed before.
Take my advice and buy the Python Pocket Reference, and Learn to Program =
Using Python by Alan Gauld. I have the Python in 24 hours book, and it =
stinks. I agree totally with Josh Gregorio on this. I have tried using =
the 24 hours book and it is hard to understand and has much to be =
desired as far as down to earth terms go for a non-programmer. Alan =
Guald book is far better at telling how to get going. You can download =
a free copy, not totally complete(but mostly), that helps a ton in the =
non-programmer department. Just go the the python website under =
documentation. www.python.org
