If you haven't programmed before, check out Alan Gauld's 'Learning to
Program' at <http://www.crosswinds.net/~agauld/>, or 'How to think like a
Computer Scientist', at
<http://www.andamooka.org/reader.pl?section=thinkpython>. These are aimed at
teaching programming using Python to complete beginners.

If you have programmed before, try 'Dive into Python at
<http://diveintopython.org/> or the Python Tutorial at
<http://www.python.org/doc/current/tut/tut.html>.

Links to *loads* of tutorials can be found at
<http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers/Programming/Languages/Python/Docu
mentation_and_Tutorials/>.

And don't forget the Python tutor mailing list, at
<http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor>. Well worth joining if you
are learning Python!
