And speaking of that, are there any benefits of learning both? The book I
previously mentioned, the author mentions not choosing between bear and Iron
Python, but having them coexist. Is there something one can do that the other
cannot? Like I said, I'm just sort of picking at it to keep me occupied for
the moment, and I do know that the PyWin32 module supports WSH and other
functionality not supported by Iron Python. Is there anything else you folks
can think of?

I've had problems with edsharp in the past in terms of running and startup.
Though the code still baffles me as much as it did the first time I poked at
it, Jamal has made huge improvements to the program itself, so I recommend as
Jacob has using Edsharp. Use the interpreter to play with things, use edsharp
to write working programs. Katherine has mentioned iron python here already; I
recommend you learn bare python first, then if you feel the need for iron
python, go that route.

I'd say start off in python interactive interpreter, and otherwise, I prefer to

Aside from that, not sure what's the best bit of tutorial material out there,
but really depends on your past experience with other languages, your approach
you want to take/make in terms of what aspects you'd like to focus on, etc -
should be other guys out here who have better ideas of what/where to get it.
Stay well

Hi
I want to learn Python and have seen a reference on this list to a a resource
entitled "Learn Python the hard way". I've looked at this and it first
suggests I download and install Gedit, which I have and find it inaccessible.
I've also had a look at the Python site and don't find that much better. Can
anyone recommend where I should get Python from and what editor I should use to
work with it?
Cheers
Chris
