Quick question - just to be sure everyone is on the same page.  Is Python your first programming language?  That is, are you comfortable with the process of decomposing a problem into a series of steps (an algorithm) that will yield an answer?  Do you already know how to program in some OTHER language.  If yes - the answers you have gotten are great.  If NOT, then we should be talking on a whole different level.
