Python is pretty easy to learn, luckily. For some resources, see http://www.sagemath.org/help.html#furtherResources (bottom). Incidentally, Minh or Harald, that list of Python resources should be updated in two ways * Add http://greenteapress.com/thinkpython/, an excellent resource * Change Dive into Python to http://www.diveintopython.net/ or another similar one, as the author essentially vanished from the internet about a month ago (see http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2011/10/04/searching-for-mark-pilgrim/, for example) and that link gives a rather nasty error. - kcrisman -- To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URL: http://www.sagemath.org
