[Tutor] Python Resources

[John Purser]

Greg,

Thanks for taking one for the team!

How about some OS specific resources like the Active State (I think I have
that right.  At work so I can't check) stuff for windows/com and the
debian-python mailing list that came up the other day.  I even ran across
some AS-400 python stuff a while back.  Python is cross platform but there
are platform specific issues and communities that can help with them.

Just a thought.

Thanks for being out there and making us look good.

Subject: [Tutor] Python Resources

Hello-

I have been asked to write an article for the IEEE "IT Pro" magazine 
dealing with using Python in the medical field.  The editors asked for 
about half the article dealing with using Python and the other half 
giving a short tutorial.  They also asked for three "sidebars"; I'm 
going with Tim Peter's "Zen of Python" for one, a comparison of "Hello, 
World", in C, C++, Perl, and Java in the second, and for the third I 
would like to list some resources.  I have the Python home page, "Dive 
Into Python", the Python Gems" page, but would like to ask what 
resources would any of you suggest?  I'd like  between 5 and 10, with a 
short description of each.

The article emphasizes the simple syntax of Python and the friendliness 
of our community.  It encourages anyone interested in learning to 
subscribe to this mailing list and ask questions (though I do caution 
them not to submit their homework simply to get a solution).

I have asked two people to review the paper from a "Python" perspective 
to make sure I have not mis-represented the language (I'm sorry about 
the delays, Steve, but the paper is coming!).  If any of you would like 
to review it, I would be happy to send you a copy, too.  I have about a 
week before submission.

Thanks for your help,
--greg
