Welcome, and you are right, this is the place for learning! :-) > One question is whats the best GUI library to build from? That depends a lot on what you want to do and what your previous experience is. Tkinter is multi platform and comes as part of Pythpons standard Library. Its what IDLE is built from. Many people prefer wxPython which is a downloadable extra because it has more widgets and looks more like the native toolkit Native windows programmers can use MFC via Marki Hammonds winall add-on package (standard in ActiveState Python) Jython lets you access the Java libraries including the GUI toolkits such as Swing. And there are also bindings for GTk and Qt if you know them from Linux/X windows Personally I like Tkinter because its simple, standard and does all that I need. Many others prefer wxPython. Unless you have previous experience with some of the others I'd look at both and make a choice between them. > Anyone recommend any good tutorials that helped them > get good @ learning python? Tutorials are very personal. Some folks prefer to get the theory explained before wading in, others prefer to work by example and pick up the theory by osmosis. The great thing in Python is you can try them all till you find one that suits because theyb are all on the Web... There is a web page on the Python web site that links to the most common/popular ones. Pick one, follow it and ask questions here if you get stuck or puzzled. (If you pick mine you can also use the web link to send me mail directly) > I know some decent basics and soon to try and develope > my own game engine. I assume you know that there is already a game enine for Python: pyGame. Its pretty low level so you may want to start from that as a foundation. There is a tutorial for pyGame too.
