I think vegaseat meant "Projects for the Beginner" to be for the beginning programmer who understood the basics of Python and wanted to do something with that knowledge. It was probably not meant to be a tutorial, just projects with a few hints thrown in.

You are right, why not a series of small projects that help you learn basic Python programming. I will try to come up with some fun projects as time permits, sure others will help too! So keep looking at "Projects for the Beginner".

A while ago our friend "a1eio" suggested the Python tutorial at http://bembry.org/technology/python/index.php

I liked that one! Very good for Python starters!
