Hey, can anyone point me to some good python tutorials/articles etc? I honestly have searched google, the articles here(the python ones weren't that good at all). Can't seem to find any tutorials that goes from the noob forward.

Ive tried a few of the ones from google but I agree they are kinda crappy and dont really cover what I want… I imagine system would know some.

If you understand/can do that, I don't think you'll be needing more general tutorials.

Yeah, I've seen that. It just seems too…long/drawn out and is really cautious about getting anywhere. This may be my only choice, I was just hoping for some good articles/tutorials to cover it a bit quicker.

You did ask for a Python article. Articles covering every/many aspects of Python tend to be long, and rather drawn out.

If you want more… digestive reading, try supplying us with more information about the topics you'd like to learn about.

I have been reading these to recently and they are a great head start. Please take a look. This is the main one I read: markuphttp://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Python_Programming And this one is good too: markuphttp://web.archive.org/web/20030619190856/http://blacksun.box.sk/tutorials/python.htm

They both have moved me along quite vastly. Just not to fast or else the information will slip right "through" you. Please notice how I said through because you may think you know it, but you'll forget. Keep the knowledge on lock down. If any questions ask here and on google. If you don't google first people yell, and if you do people are very, very helpful. Enjoy!

I'd like to start at basic string functions and I/O, variables, then maybe some file I/O and then work my way up from there.

Theres a book I just found. Right now I am too lazy to find it (I found it on a website that has computer books in .pdf files and theres a thread on that). Beginning Python from Wrox I just started reading it and right now I understand everything it is explaining. Its not reading a book really its kind of like someone is talking to you and teaching you. You will understand once you read it.

I hope this helps you out. Also I am not a programmer in any stretch of the imagination if anything I am a newbie:)

It can't really help me out at all since I don't know where/what it is :(

Umm… if Richo's Py articles are still here, they are damn good reading; take another look. Other than that, the easiest way to learn how to code… is to code. Pop open your favorite text editor (or Notepad++) and start reading up on code snippets. Imitate them in your editor and, as you modify them to do different things, you'll start to understand how the language works through the packages you are using. For syntactical understanding, just read online resources… it's not that hard.

Eh, this isn't something I'm gonna rely on completely. I've read the articles here, and everywhere else I could find articles and have just been practicing coding. I'm getting decent I guess, not where I want to be though :D.
