I appreciate Alan's response and yours. I forgot that this was the Tutor 
list, as I see so many Python e-mails it is easy to get confused. Please 
resume seeing this list and me as resources. I regret my comments that led 
to your depression.

So what can we do as a community to provide tutorials that help students 
like you to more easily "get it". Can you give us some ideas as to what is 
missing? Also I 'd be interested in knowing a bit about your academic 
background and field of study. Would you give us a brief CV?

I taught programming for the Boeing Company. I always wondered "what are 
these students doing here? Why don't they just read the book?" That's how I 
learned almost everything I know about programming. So it can be hard for 
me to understand your struggle.

Nuf said for now...
