This group has its grouchy moments but for the most part it's
reasonably friendly to beginners.  The worst thing that usually
happens is that if you ask a simple question, a bunch of experts will
show off their knowledge to each other by giving you insanely
complicated answers that you have no reason to want to understand.
But they're not exactly being hostile when they do that.  They're just
really really into advanced Python programming.  So go ahead and ask
your questions.  The first responses will probably be the most
helpful, after which the response thread will go off into nerdy
tangents that you can ignore.
