How do you get started with Python Programming in just 5 Minutes? Here I show you, using Python 2.5 and the bundled IDLE editor, how to start writing your first program and where to go next for help and tutorials.
First we look at python.org's documentation and HOWTO section, then we move to my Python Resources for Newbies video at ShowMeDo to learn about on-line tutorials, newsgroups, news, download and community sites. This video is a part of our Python Collection.
Finally we look at Guido van Rossum's Python Tutorial and use the bundled IDLE editor to write and run a one-line Python program.
