New to group
Hi Everyone I am new to programming in general although I have read alot and done alot of experimentation as well as researched afew languages namely java python and visual basic . My conclusion is that python is one of the best because it eliminates the need to learn about access modifiers and form handlers so a user can concentrate primarliy on the nuts and bolts of the language . i have come across my first exeption using randrange . The exeption is " no such attribute " in module random platform is xp home and the python build is activestate 2.5 All help much appreciated ! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

raw_input("\n\nPress the enter key to exit.")
The code is an exerp from a chm file . I am petty sutre I am
nmot getting a char map error from the copy/paste ! it looks
simple enough !

Where can I find :
Hi All : Does anyone know where I can find either a book or a website that explains beginning python by actually building a project line by line and explaining it indepth . I am primarily interested in understading flowcontrol as well as syntax . If it was related to netwoprking then that would be a great addition although not required because that is my primary field of interest . All help greatly appreciated !
