Newbie Needs Direction

[David Oppenheimer]

I have decided to learn python and Tcl.  Are there any great tutorials
out there for python?  I would also appreciate links to any resources
you may know about that are full of add-on tools, etc for python.  I am
also interested in wxPython.  I would like to also know what kinds of
programs people are designing with python.  And your comments on the
strengths and/or weaknesses you perceive in the language.   What
compilers are compatible, etc.?

Thanks,

David O.
