I am struggling to understand the basic principles of Python having spent many 
years as a pure Amateur tinkering with a variety of BASIC  as you can see on my 
site at http://www.sigord.co.uk/  I think you will agree all such versions of 
Basic I have used are far easier to understand than Python. Though with my 
limited knowledge I accept Python may have many advantages over say Liberty 
Basic etc.

The problem I am finding is most of the sites claiming to help understand 
Python devote far too much space bragging about the wonders of Python instead 
of concentrating how to make sensible use of it. For example I struggle to find 
examples of such as below if you could please help me. If I manage to duplicate 
some of my efforts on my site with Python I will be happy to upload the code to 
my site. I will also try to upload working exec files of such also, except my 
previous attempts at downloading the relevant software was blocked by AVG 
software as risky.

Liberty Basic
for n = 32 to 255: print n;chr$(n) : next n

REM BBC Basic
FOR c = 1 TO 15 : COLOUR c
  PRINT "Color ";c
NEXT c

REM BBC Basic
c = 0
FOR x = 80 TO 2000 STEP 96
  GCOL c: CIRCLE FILL x,500,50 : c = c + 1
NEXT x
