If you are interested please let me know. Thank you for reading this. I'd say * it is fine to prefere one on one tutoring than collective or public * it is fine to ask here, since indeed that's a place to find a tutor on python But the issue is that the quality of such tutoring essentially depends on the quality of your personal relation (between learner & tutor), and there is no way to know that before trying. So, I guess the best is to start here on the list, and if after a while you note 1, 2, 3 persons you'd really like to deal as a tutor for you in private, then just ask --privately. d ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

That's fine, about half of the people on the tutor list are beginners of one kind or another. I'd guess maybe 15% at any one time are complete beginners like yourself. So join the crowd. Am looking for someone to work with me one on one, But we don't do that. This is a list where everyone learns from everyone else. Sometimes it's best to get an answer from an expert. Sometimes a fellow beginner can understand what you need better. Sometimes another beginner has the same issue as you but didn't ask... And sometimes it's better to get 5 answers to the same question, each presenting a different slant, than a single answer you only half understand. I have many question that I need answered, my question are basic as of the moment because am starting, I don't want to send an email to everyone about my questions because I feel it will be a waste of their time. Basic questions are what we are here for. In fact if you ask a very advanced question we will most likely tell you to go elsewhere! This list is for people like you. Jump in and join the fun. Just be sure to tell us: 1) Your Python version and OS version 2) Your tutorial/book if you are following one 3) And always post full error messages. They may not look like much to you (yet) but they mean a lot to us! :-) 4) Be as specific as possible about what you need to know. One of the key features of programming is attention to detail. It will also help if you can post in plain text rather than HTML. And don't top-post (insert your comments after the text you are replying to, as I did above). Some folks here get a bit tetchy about such things ;-) HTH -- Alan G Tutor List moderator Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

That's the whole point *OF* this list. Please feel free to ask questions here, we don't bite. I'd simply ask that you try reading a tutorial or two and trying to write some code before you ask, that way you're far more likely to get answers. -- My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask what you can do for our language.

Alan's Python tutorial (http://www.alan-g.me.uk/) is a great place to start. If you just ask questions you will probably not learn as much as if you try and then ask specific questions. This is a beginner's list; people expect you to ask beginner questions. However, some might be a bit short in their answers if you have not at least tried to figure out the problem on your own. You will not really learn to program, either. Try. Fail. Explain the problem to yourself. Fail again. Ask the list for help when you can really explain the problem.
