Don't waste readers' time with such vague and broad requests. Instead,
post a specific question, for example showing a small fragment of
Python code that does not work as you expect. Or ask how to do XYZ in
Python, if you are unable to find the answer using Google.

"Newbie" by itself is always a bad subject line. Having a specific
question should help you form a better title for your message.

There is a mailing list for those learning Python at
http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor , but even there, you
will need to ask more specific questions.

As you can see, you won't find help here. You will get a lot of great
advice and help on the python-tutor list, which is for beginners such as
yourself:

If you're a complete newbie.. Try the tutorials at www.hetland.org. And
maybe change them for a book when your eyes get sour with reading

I just started programming in python myself and i must say that it pleases
me so far. Don't know what your programming experience is, but mine is
limited to some BASIC and Pascal years and years ago.

One of the things that i actually like about it, is solving the puzzles
myself.. It's a nice solitary way to keep myself busy when i don't feel
like reading.

Find some tutorials online, maybe get a book. Buy one, maybe get one from
the library and write some code until you get so stuck that you won't be
able to solve it yourself anymore. Then maybe ask for help... I think it's
more fun this way

Check out http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld. His tutorial is
great, covering basic programming using pythion examples.
