To be fair that is what the tutor list is for - learning Python.

But as a tutor author I do agree that I am often tempted
(and sometimes succumb) to just point at the relevant topic
in my tutorial. Particularly since the latest version tries
to answer all of the most common questions asked here, but
still they come up...

suggestions.

And this too can be frustrating but sometimes it is the case
that the "student" simply didn't fully appreciate the
significance of what was offered. I'm feeling generous tonight!
