Learning Python

After trying for a long time to choose some more "portable" (then VBScript LOL) programming language to learn, I decided to go for Python. I found very nice free tutorials on the web. I recommend you to start with A Byte of Python which is a very good start for a beginner, thanks Swaroop for your effort to put together such a tutorial. As an alternative, or maybe to get a bit more in depth knowledge you can go for Dive Into Python. After I finish this I want to learn the Django framework in order to start developing some web applications and try Google Apps Engine. However I find Python already useful also as an alternative to VBscript for Windows administration. Microsoft has a few examples of scripts written in Python on their website.
