[Tutor] python tutoring

[leam hall]

Trent,

You can do well with Alan's on-line pages (
http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld/) and just ask questions here.
The biggest thing is to pick a big enough but not too big project. Using
Python as your first programming language will spoil you, though, it's a
great language and covers a lot of options.
