A good tutorial for beginners is at:

Also read through the Starting Python "sticky" and the Python code snippets here on DaniWeb. Above everything, run the code and experiment with it! Change it a little at first and then get braver!

I have bought a number of Python books, but don't think much of them. They are often outdated, poorly organized and indexed, also have quite a few mistakes in the code. Get books used, if possible!

Python is much easier to learn and understand than C or C++. Much of Python (eg. Python24.dll) is written in C and/or C++, but you don't have to be concerned with that.

Research has been published that claims that Python is about 10 times faster for developing a program than C++ or Java. They are talking about rather large and complex client requested programs. Both Google and Yahoo rely heavily on Python.

A typical example of Python code is ...
... try to do this with C++

Thanks, now I'm even more willing to continue.
I've installed PyWin and I'll be using it. I will have more questions soon, I'm sorry if my questions sounds dumb, but I'll try whatever I think it can help me

I am still mostly using C. I know this probably a little bit old fashioned. I am following Python conversation closely too, looks like a interesting language to me. Does not have many many { and } and ;
