is there a list/group for beginners?

[Deb Wyatt]

Hello.  I am a total python newbie and would like to ask questions but all my questions seem so stinkin' elementary compared to the posts I've read so far.  Is there a beginning python list anywhere?  I have searched and searched.  Meanwhile I will continue to read the messages here to cram as much info into my brain as possible.






Thanks in advance,

Hi, Deb.

Ten years ago (or eleven?), I was completely new to Python. I could not begin to understand over 90 percent of what I was reading here in comp.lang.python. Still, I asked my newbie questions here. For the most part, I got excellent responses. I think you're in the right place.

thanks,John. I guess I was/am afraid to embarrass myself on this list, but then I accidentally posted a question meant for the tutor list and ended up getting more for my money than I expected . I really appreciate that the people on this list are so friendly and willing to help.

Asking "newbie questions" isn't going to get you flamed here, we're
pretty friendly Anyway, we're all newbies in whatever areas we
haven't actually dug into. (I denewbified myself in Flask just last
week, and there's plenty more of Python that I've never touched.) So
go for it, ask those questions! Reveal your ignorance. Let us reveal
ours, as we make errors in responses. And by the end of the thread,
all the errors will have been corrected and the ignorance cured... and
we'll all have learned. That, in my books, is a recipe for an awesome
thread. Bring it on!
