(a good project that someone new to python can work on) seem to be my<br>
major stumbling blocks. I hate asking "stupid" questions, and while<br>
I'm pretty good at bash, the OOP stuff in Python kicks me in the butt.<br>
I started a very small "user" group on my own website, but out of<br>
the 11 people that started with me, only 1 is very active at all. I<br>
actually did write a gui program using python, it's not superb, but it<br>
works. <a href="http://python.pastebin.com/f2e1354b5" target="_blank">http://python.pastebin.com/f2e1354b5</a><br>

A Byte of Python<br>

<br>
is a great online book to. But like I said, I have plenty of books ;)<br>
I was interested in how many "local" users in the group used Python,<br>
and if there had ever been any interest in a Des Moines python group<br>
lately ?<br>
