Want to echo Ramit's sentiments.  While the people here are volunteers and
do not take kindly to having their time wasted by obvious laziness or lack
of effort from the side of questioners, we do like helping and teaching
others Python, and also like seeing and learning from others' questions.
 Even basic questions can sometimes spark pretty interesting discussions
that is beneficial to the wider readership and not just the original poster.

As far as picking up Python: There's a lot of video tutorials on the web,
including a lot of decent stuff on showmedo.com  Some of it's not free and
requires membership (with the free set growing and being pretty substantial
in any case.)  Either way the $29 annual price is hopefully cheap enough to
not be an obstacle should you choose to want to see the non-free stuff:

Good luck,

Walter
