Thus far its easy.

Really? I'd have thought you wanted only the 'best' one - however you 
define best...

This is easier

I'm not sure what crossed out means in this contexzt?
Is that a technical term in US football(?) or do you
simply mean you want to delete the entry?

You would be best working througfh a general purpose introduction.
Can you program already in another language or are you new to 
programming as well as Python?

Either way there are tutorials on the Python web site that can
help. Once you have completed one of these your project should
be straightforward.

But trying to learn only the minimum needed for your project
will in variable lead to frustration as you keep finding
new things you need to learn, but not in any logical order.
