[Tutor] python virgin

[Doug Gentry]

Heck, I'm a programming virgin too. I was browsing the net the other day and
ran across a site about active  state python. I had the "old Python loaded
on here so I removed it and installed the new version on my XP computer.

 

I'm trying to find some sites that has some info about how to use it. I
think I've found a couple but the instructions in there seem to be for the
older python I was using before.

 

i.e.; click on file and then new window? Mine has File/new and then a choice
of script or grep. I kind of figured that script is the same thing as what
they wanted in the new window. 

 

 Also when I opened notepad and did the little exercise of hello world and
saved as hello.py  I went back and ran it. I get a real quick flash of a cmd
box running but that's it.

 

I suppose because it's RUNNING the program hello.py and there really is
nothing to see, except HELLO WORLD for a brief 1/60th of a second?

 

So I guess my question should be. Does anyone know of a good website to go
to learn this?

 

Also I'd like to thank all you wonderful people for doing this tutoring
thing. It's so nice to meet a group of people that have really nice
intentions of helping people and learning!

 

 

Thanks so much for being there!

 

Doug
