One thing to keep in mind is that Python is just the language. With VFP, you are a little spoiled, as VFP is the language, the IDE, and the data-binding GUI for creating desktop apps. That was the motivation for Paul McNett and myself for creating Dabo, which is a combination of the open source Python tools you will need to match what you get with VFP. For general learning of the language, the tutorial on python.org is pretty good, but you might also enjoy Dive Into Python (http://www.diveintopython.net/), which many people I know who are experienced developers who are new to Python have found to be very helpful in learning how Python code works. -- Ed Leafe --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/signed text/plain (text body -- kept) application/pgp-signature --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
