Our authors tell us that feedback from you is a big motivator. Please take a few moments to let them know what you think of their work.
Here we install and test Python 2.5 from Python.org (download here). I cover how to start Python from the Start Menu and writing your first (Hello World) line of Python code.
At the end of this video you'll know how to start and finish with Python and you'll be ready to check-out the on-line tutorial via the Python.org doc pages and Mark pilgrim's on-line book Dive Into Python.
You will also be ready to begin the remaining six parts of this series where I give you all the knowledge you need to get going with writing Python scripts on Windows (this also applies to Linux and Mac too!).

Thank you for the video series. I have a programming project for a club I belong to and am hoping Python will be my vehicle. The thing I am most interested in is a beginning programming tutorial along with a quick start into GUI with Python. I need this project asap and hope to get up-to-speed rather quickly. Many Thanks.
Thanks very much. Clear, concise...I'm just thinking about 'programming' as a new path (no pun intended)- taking a couple of free courses from MIT to see if this is something I would want to do. Thanks a million.
excelente tutorial para usar python muy bueno sigan asi espero algun dia poder ser util como ustedes lo son saludos desde guatemala
OK
Thank you
Thank you. I was stuck trying to find how to access IDLE and it never occurred to me to look under all programs. I will definately bookmark your site for further help as this is my initial exposure to Python.
Thank you for this tutorial. I found it quite helpful
Thanks, did not know what ModuleDocs component was.
Nice work!
Just what I was looking for.
With all the languages I know , I was interested in why I would use Python instead of Pearl or something else.
Thank you.

i. Need to know the database connectivity in python.
ii. Create a simple login page in python with database connectivity
Hello Ian,
I've just started watching your tutorials so I don't have much to say at this point. What does strike me is your matter of fact way of presenting the information. No guessing involved. As time goes on, I'll let you know what I think. As for now... Two Thumbs Up! :^)
