It is off topic here but I think there is an official beginners tutorial at Python's home page?

I might be wrong.
Quoted more than 1000 times (I hope).Thank you, anon. You sure know how to recognize different types of trees from quite a long way away.
If it's of any help to you, this is the exact order I learned in;
. BATCH Files for windows and QBasic
. QBasic and Visual Basic 4-5 (briefly) while starting C (some ASM)
. VBScript and still learning C
. JavaScript and then C++ and still C; (ASM comes back every now and then)
. PHP along with adv OOP concepts in C++ and more C - (self-teaching discrete math)
. C++ adv concepts and algorithms and Java (couple years) (more math; algorithms, etc)
. C++ and C# and some random languages (was hired as a .net programmer, picked up C# practically overnight thanks to Java)
. C++, C#, Lisp (ogl, glsl, ai, dsp, all that fun stuff, etc)
wow, fun mind trip through the past there. somewhere in the half way point i was familiarizing myself with mysql, then sql and etc. db's are important to understand.

A bit off topic, but I recently removed a university from the list of schools im considering for my masters because the artificial intelligence program requires the AI to be written in python. It's not that big a deal, but it meant the difference between two otherwise good programs.
