As one person that just began Python to another, I broke up my program 
into small chunks, and programed each chunk.

I created a hello world program, then decided I needed a parser for for 
a telnet item I was working on...  That keeps the pressure on me to get 
it going, because I want the result.  That led to learning how to log 
into a telnet server, which led to how to configure things, which led 
to...  You get the picture.

At each point I did not know something, (which there were many), I 
looked it up on the Internet, or in a few Python books I bought.  It 
gets you moving in the right direction...  I am not worried about 
reading a lot of other material in the process, it primes the pump so to 
speak for me...  It lets me know what can be done, not how to do it 
yet...  Then when I need to do something I know it can be done, so I 
then look up how to do it.

My program is now pushing 800 lines of working code...  It is a lot of 
work, but I had forgotten just how much fun programming was...

73, and thanks,
