[Tutor] New to programming and Python

[Jorge Azedo]

Hi guys ( and gals )

I'm totally new to the whole programming scene (I decided to enter it 
for many reasons, one of which is the fact that I *want* to know how to 
program my computer) and I decided to start out with Python. I'm reading 
lots of tutorials on it, trying to understand how to work with it, but 
for some reason or another, it all seems a great mess to me. Am I doing 
something wrong? Also, can anyone give me any pointers on how to start 
working with Python?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me
