I found this book to be a great tutorial: Python Programming for the Absolute Beginner Second Edition. Michael Dawson. Boston, MA:Thompson Course Technology, 2006. ISBN: 1598631128 Dawson uses games to teach Python. The examples are games, so the book is a lot of fun to work through. Being fun, you'll learn easier and faster than if the examples were boring academic examples. Most of the games are text-based, but the last two chapters introduce you to graphics, sound, music, and animation. Happy Programming! -- b h a a l u u at g m a i l dot c o m Kid on Bus: What are you gonna do today, Napoleon? Napoleon Dynamite: Whatever I feel like I wanna do.
