|

The official tutorial is still a good place to start; see
|
||||
http://www.python.org/doc/ for online and downloadable versions.
|
||||
Aaron Watters wrote a second tutorial, that may be more accessible for
|
||||
some: http://www.networkcomputing.com/unixworld/tutorial/005/005.html.
|
||||
Both tutorials (as well as most other sources) assume that you already
|
||||
know how to program -- if you'd like to write "Python for Dummies", I
|
||||
know a publisher who would like to talk to you...
|
||||
http://www.python.org/doc/ for online and downloadable versions, as
|
||||
well as a list of other introductions, and reference documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
There are now also several books on Python. The first book is the
|
||||
most recent and covers Python 1.5.X. The other two books, both
|
||||
first published in October 1996 and both including a CD-ROM, form
|
||||
excellent companions to each other. Though these two are still based
|
||||
on Python 1.3 or 1.4, the information in them is still 99% correct.
