Did you find this page? It lists several beginners tutorials. "Learning to Program" and "A Byte of Python" are both popular: http://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide/NonProgrammers "Learning Python" is not really oriented towards beginners without previous programming experience. You might prefer "Python Programming for the absolute beginner" "Python Programming: An Introduction to Computer Science" 'Beginning Python: From Novice to Professional' Links to the above and more here: http://wiki.python.org/moin/IntroductoryBooks Kent _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
