Ouch!
#python is not very friendly to beginners. (Or anyone else for that
matter.) It's well-suited to questions which can be asked, and
answered, in one or two sentences, but is completely unsuitable for
extended discussion.
Also they have a bad habit of banning people without warning or
explanation. And, I have to say, in my opinion often their answers are
actually *wrong*, but if you try to tell them so they ban you.
[Disclaimer: I haven't bothered with #python for over a year. It's
possible the culture there has completely changed.]
