I am currently trying to learn the language that is Python. The problem is
the last language I ever programmed was BASIC. So I need to know what tools
I need to get started I.E. -Start up platform
Just the standard Python install will suffice. It comes
with everything you need to get started including a
rudimentary developmet environment(editor/debugger etc)
Can I suggest you pay a visit to my online tutor too
which teaches Python alongside BASIC(and Tcl) so you
should be able to map your BASIC experience into Python
terms quite easily.

-which version to use
2.1 is the latest but I must confess I'm still happily using 2.0.
-how to get the screen to let me type the language
I am using a compaq 1700T laptop. It is a pentium III and runs at 800mhz.
With windows Me.
Any help would be useful. Thanks for your time and patience,
The Frog
