Free online resources for learning Python: To get started, I strongly suggest Josh Cogliati's "Non-Programmers Tutorial for Python" ( http://honors.montana.edu/~jjc/easytut/easytut/ ). I learned programming with this little tutorial, which is a very good introduction.
After that, you could check these ones: "A Byte of Python" by Swaroop CH "Learning to Program" by Alan Gauld (http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld/) The last one is specially good to grasp the basics of object oriented programming. It has a very good example of a banking application that was a real eye opener to me. Good luck, LUIS -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
