[Tutor] Re: getting started on python

[Grail]

I downloaded Python 2.1.2 - http://python.org/2.1.2/
(why? Because the Beginners page said to -
http://python.org/doc/Newbies.html )

A python group got installed in my Start menu, where I can go open "IDLE
(Python GUI)"

On the beginners page are links to:
One Day of IDLE Toying -
http://hkn.eecs.berkeley.edu/~dyoo/python/idle_intro/index.html
(explains how IDLE works. Simple)

And actual Python tutorials, I've started off with:
Instant Hacking - http://www.hetland.org/python/instant-hacking.php

If I can cope with that, anyone can - right?


And, hi to everyone on the list.
:)
I'm a complete newbie, unless you count a couple of weeks of PASCAL at
school, Python is *going to be* my first programming language.
