If your new to Python, this was always my favourite: http://www.python.org/doc/2.5.1/tut/tut.html For Activities, have a look at: http://sugarlabs.org/go/ActivityTeam I particularly like the Sugar Almanac (great if you're the type that likes to see simple code snippets on how to get things to work and see what's possible). For me, I found the best way to get going was just poking at the source of existing activities, and using pydoc (try pydoc -p 8080 and using a web browser to navigate the docs). --Gary > Apologies if this information is already out there, and I'm just not > seeing it.
