Python/New/Learn

[Avi Gross]

Before more people reply to this user, I note I have not seen them reply back to the list about any questions or comments others have taken the time to provide.
My warning bells go off when I see patterns and there was a similar request from another gmail account to an R language forum I am also on. They wanted help in learning programming (especially R) and claimed not to have any source to study. As we keep pointing out, you can trivially find sources including many free ones.
So I wonder if there is  point being sucked in by one or more people who don't even continue a conversation and perhaps are not even listening but just playing us to make us waste time. Or, maybe they are asking on multiple places to decide which to choose and are not saying so.
Am I paranoid? Nah! But yes, a bit wary. I get so many kinds of SPAM in mail and phone calls and lately keep getting calls asking if I want to sell my house ...

Buy the book "Python 101" and do the examples.  When you're done with that buy the book "Python 201" and study it.  There is much more than is in both those books that you could learn about Python, but that's a very good way to start.

Hello, I'm completely new here and don't know anything about python. Can someone tell me how best to start? So what things should I learn first?
