A good list. Even more important, though, is the installation, use and understanding of a text editor. What is the difference of MS Word, Notepad and a Python-aware text editor? What text editors are there? What is a newline? What is whitespace? (Advanced: what is a TAB.) What is the difference between lower case and upper case? What is trailing whitespace? What is an underscore? What is the difference between a parenthesis, bracket and a brace? What is a file? What is a filename? What is a directory/folder? What is a pathname? What is a terminal (emulator)? What is standard input? What is standard output? How do I see the listing of files? How do I erase a file? How do I rename a file? What is the current working directory? How do I change it and why? Marko -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
