Python Tutorial

This course is intended as a primer to using Python.

In earlier pages, I have put links to some very good sites that will give you a lot of information. You will also find them on de.licio.us at http://del.icio.us/cs_ait_cos

To do the examples I have put here, you will need to download Python and install it.

I used the editor that comes with the Windows environment to create and edit the programs as it has colour coding and inbuilt syntax help. The most important thing to remember with Python is to be consistant with indenting. I recommend using only spaces for indenting to prevent confusion.

To test my programs, I used the Python integrated environment that comes with the Windows installation.
