I'm new to Python too, here's a few I've found useful: http://www.greenteapress.com/thinkpython/ http://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide/NonProgrammers Python Programming for the Absolute Beginner by Michael Dawson. It is the book I'm using. It's different from other Python books in that it's examples/sample programs are games or game related. The author uses a modified version of the LiveWires modules later in the book along side Pygame http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1598631128/002-1529099-9424031?v=glance&n=283155 (That's the second edtion, no reviews yet.) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1592000738/002-1529099-9424031?v=glance&n=283155 (first edition with reviews) LiveWires they've got materials to go with their modules. http://www.livewires.org.uk/python/ You haven't mentioned using IDLE, the built in IDE, I have found it useful: http://hkn.eecs.berkeley.edu/~dyoo/python/idle_intro/index.html It might not be in your menus though, on my box it's at: python2.4 /usr/local/lib/python2.4/idlelib/idle.py CronoCloud (Ron Rogers Jr.) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
