Hi, I'd start with the basic python tutorials, then have a look at something like CherryPy (http://www.cherrypy.org/) or Quixote (http://www.quixote.ca/) for the initial web stuff - there are others, too. Try & read around each a bit, e.g. web site/mailing lists, then download & give ones you fancy a try. > I have an xp windows and ms office machine. (I'm considering linux, but it's > a bit daunting?)

Make sure your PATH (My Computer/Propeties/Advanced/Environment, or similar) has the Python folder in it then try "python <script.py>" You can also try Explorer/Tools/Folder Options/File Types/.PY to associate .py files with the python.exe file.
