When you ask for help on a public forum, it's usually best to start by reading the tutorials yourself. http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html boB is absolutely correct here: you need to learn the basics before further questions will be truly productive. We are not here to read aloud from the tutorial to you. Once you have a basic understanding of Python's structure, you will be far better able to ask questions and understand the answers.
