learning python

here's some links that might help you with learning python.

 

I use python 2.6 because there is extensive documentation and many libraries

I used to use portable python but it was a real pain in the ass to install additional libraries to it so i switched to the regular version.

 

I use a combination of notepad plus and pyscripter at the moment
