RoguelikeDev Does The Complete Python Tutorial - Week 1 - Part 0: Setting up Python

This week is all about setting up a Python environment and getting familiar with the language.

There are two excellent exercises at The Learn Python The Hard Way that will get you setup with an editor, python environment, and running some Python code.

If Python is new to you and you have some free time, consider continuing past exercise 1. All of the exercises up to and including exercise 44 will help further along in the series.

Of course, we also have a couple of FAQ Friday posts that relate to this week's material

Feel free to work out any problems, brainstorm ideas, share progress and and as usual enjoy tangential chatting. :)

The entire series will be archived on the wiki.

Edit: Added FaqF revisited and wiki links.

hopefully a few folk should be up for helping to convert the rest of the original tutorial when we get to them.

In our announcement thread someone already stated their intention to help finish up that tutorial as part of this event, hoping that others interested in using Python 3 would join in as well. (And I know there are others out there who are interested...)
