What is a good resource to learn Python?

6. Python is a surprisingly good resource to learn Python with.

With it installed, type python from the command list. Type:

range(6)
then type
help(range)
to learn about the function you just called. press 'q' to get out of help.
If works with modules too. type
import os
then type
help(os)
to see what's in the operating system module. press 'q' to get out.

I learned it after learning java, but what I found most helpful was just the tutorial on the python website.

Maybe there's better ones if its your first language. Regardless, don't stop until you can do something you want to. Download Django for interactive websites in Python, or something like PIL for image processing, and learn the power. Its not long after your printing "hello world" that you can do some powerful stuff.
