Hi yeah I'm currently learning python 2 at the moment and the tutorial that
I am studying doesn't explain about indentation.
Really? Indentation is a basic feature of Python!
while {condition that the loop continues}:
{what to do in the loop}
{have it indented, usually four spaces}
{the code here is not looped}
{because it isn't indented}
Just discovered this in the tutorial further down. I'm currently learning
Python 2 because there seems to be a lot of tutorials out there covering Python
2 rather than 3.
Thanks for the help this community is great for help.

You might be better served by the official Python tutorial URL:http://docs.python.org/tutorial/. If you work through it from beginning to end, doing each exercise and experimenting to be sure you understand before moving through, you will get a good grounding in the fundamentals of the language. -- \ “Don't worry about what anybody else is going to do.

Just discovered this in the tutorial further down. I'm currently learning Python 2 because there seems to be a lot of tutorials out there covering Python 2 rather than 3.

I'm currently learning Python 2 because there seems to be a lot of tutorials out there covering Python 2 rather than 3. The latest edition (3rd?) of Programming Python by Mark Lutz covers py3k (it targets 3.0/3.1 IIRC, but the official Python docs cover the differences between versions). The tutorial in the official docs is short compared to a book, but it covers the basics well. The official docs do cover each module in the standard library in great detail. It is mainly reference, though there are a few tutorials (e.g. the logging module has at least 2 tutorials). If you are not restricted to 2.x, learn 3.2/3.3. 2.x is used mainly because some major libraries (e.g., Twisted, Django) and/or other dependencies do not support 3.x yet. There will be no 2.8, and 2.7 isn't getting any new features AFAIK. -- CPython 3.3.0a4 | Windows NT 6.1.7601.17803 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
