oh, this seems to be just on par with my Python experience in general, maybe the nature of the beast.
Many different paths possible, documentation sort of random. Confusing!

The good of it is that it indeed seems to be an environment where anything is possible.

As to bugginess, I do not think it is inherent to Python, likely just an effect of a lot being tried all over the place, though it makes the atmosphere somewhat less welcoming - I gave up very quickly, found Assembler still easier :-)

Getting started in Python seems a very steep step, and that probably explains to some extent why so very, very few developers are yet coming from the XO users world. Hopefully, by learning it, people like Caryl, so good at "translating English to English" will be able to make a difference there also.

I have been working through some of the sections on the Code Academy lessons (one of the many resources they have) and have found it a bit buggy. Actually, I find the huge number of resources a bit overwhelming! It is hard to figure out exactly what to do first. I am hoping that will change tomorrow and that The Machine will be more specific about where to start.
