You know, it's really not necessary for you to put "[NooB]" in the subject of your posts. This is a fairly friendly group and they will answer even newbie questions amicably. But if you want an even kinder, gentler place to ask questions as a newbie (not a noob), I suggest the Tutor mailing list:
http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor -- Michael Hoffman -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
