First, reply to all so that the group sees your response.  Second, aside
from the reading, find a classmate or two who are feeling like you are.

python has an interactive shell that you get to by just typing python from
a terminal prompt.  When you go through a tutorial or examples, try things
out in the shell.  You'll learn a lot that way
