An instructor of mine is about to teach the FIRST EVER class in Python 
at Saint Petersburg College; knowing I am a snakecharmer, he asked me 
for referrals to online resources.

Oh my.

So I sent back this:
"
Ah, python., my fav obsession. First, the language website itself:
   http://www.python.org/
Natch, they offer a tutorial:
   http://docs.python.org/tutorial/
But this one is better for rank beginniners:
http://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide/NonProgrammers
And there's another one here:
   http://www.sthurlow.com/python/
And a nice writeup on wikipedia:
   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_%28programming_language%29
You may care to go teleport to planet python:
   http://planet.python.org/
And you can swim into it at diveintopython:
   http://diveintopython.org/toc/index.html
"

Now here is a chance to help influence this getting off on the right foot. 

I can use reccomendations for texts for use in an introduction to Python class, and I will condense it down and provide them to the good doctor.
