Hi im currently starting to learn python in sixth form at school any tips?
The books suggestions of others are quite good. Here is another approach: pick an easily understandable application, and work doing things with it. Perhaps immodestly, I think that as soon as you understand how to define a function and a class, you can treat this paper http://jasss.soc.surrey.ac.uk/11/3/8.html as an introduction to applied Python programming. The application area is very specific---game theoretic simulations---but the illustrated techniques are meant to be more general. Alan Isaac -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
