Myth: Python is ideal for beginners

[Carlos Ribeiro]

Max,

We went very far already with this thread, and Pedro has offered himself to 
help with tutorials. About pirating commercial books - that really was never 
the point, although I understand that Pedro started it all in a rather 
confusing way. Now that we are doing progress, it's time to be more 
constructive (as we discussed here at c.l.p).

I'm sure we *all* can help.
