That's really REALLY old. Even Red Hat isn't still supporting 2.2. You
can quite easily get started on 3.2 on Windows - though I would
recommend grabbing 3.3 and using that - just start with this tutorial:

http://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/

I don't know exactly what will be different in 2.2, but there's no
point learning a version that old. If nothing else, you'll miss out on
a lot of neat features.
