I was once a newbie too. I started with the Python Tutorial which is on the Python Website and found it to be a good starting point. http://docs.python.org/tut/tut.html Have a go with this and see how you get on. There are lots of resources at http://www.python.org, including distributions of the latest version of the python interpreter, which you should install (if you have not already) before attempting the tutorials. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
