Last time I looked, there seemed to be around 250 dialects of Basic, and
with wildly differing implementations from pure interpreters to full
compilers, from GWBASIC to .NET. (Is there even an official standard?)
With Python there are two dialects, and it's often already installed on
a system (probably not on Windows though). There are a few different
implementations too, but code I think is largely compatible across them.
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...

I fully agree. But you don't have to use classes, exceptions,
decorators, generators, iterators, closures, comprehensions, meta
classes, ... the list of meaningless buzzwords just goes on.
You were five days late.
It'll cope with ordinary coding as well, although such programs seem to
be frowned upon here; they are not 'Pythonic'.
How can you (plural) write Python code when you don't know Python?
