For all of those in the Atlanta area, it seems that Zeb will be teaching a class at PyCon in March.

Hello!

There's a course on MIT OpenCourseWare that learns Python. There're some videos and resource content. U can look it right here:

http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6...

There's an interesting book there too - "How to Think Like a Computer Scientist: Learning with Python". U can download it here:

Invent Your Own Computer Games

I stumbled upon this resource: http://inventwithpython.com/index.html

What I liked was that you could see some code and actually trace through it online. As you go line by line through the code, the webpage will keep track of the variables used, provide notes as to what is happening on each line, and give output. Pretty cool.

Python is one of the top skills to have in 2011. Python programmers earn more than Ruby on Rail programmers http://www.eweek.com/c/a/IT-Management/Java-Python-Apex-Windows-Top-List...

An explanation of most keywords in Python! Found this after having lots of troubles in exercise 37. Been really helpful though there are still many keywords in exercise 37 that I don't understand :(.
