Despite going to many sources I can not seem to find a single source that adequately explains Python 100% without any technical jargon or assumptions of prior knowledge.
Its impossible to learn to program without learning technical jargon, but there are tutorials that try to teach you that technical jargon before using it!
this exercise) I am completely lost. What do you recommend for a good source to learn Python? I have tried MIT open course ware, but again even their intro explains the obvious, but not how to use it collectively.
Using it 2collectively" is the hardest bit about programming in any language and there are very few resources that even attempt such a thing. Most take the approach of building ever increasingly complex programs so that you absorb the technique through use.
Anybody else want to recommend a tutorial for someone who has no programming experience in other languages?
Tutorials are highly subjective but have you (the OP) looked at the non-programmers page on the Python web site? It lists several tutorials aimed at the complete beginner. Being biased I favour my one!
