python tutorials?

I downloaded pthon 3.1 for mac, I believe it has tkinter built in. I cannot find tutorials anywhere or resources. If anyone could give me some links I would really appreciate it.

well first you learn python, which is available via python.org. I don't know what tkinter is. And unless ur developing for iphone or mac, you probably shouldnt use a mac dev environment.

ive been having trouble with trying to get c++ and python, it all works but i want programs that work on mac and pc. I think ill stick to my pc for programming. 001_smile

C++ for small projects use Code::Blocks, for big use Visual Studio, for Qt projects use Notepad++.

Doesn't Qt have an IDE? I think I remember one...

Yes, I used it a couple of times and is kind of confusing. I just don't like the setup..
I haven't coded much in a longgg time. I'll probably start learning Qt so I can at least make some decent C++ apps. The thing is though I've never really understood much with C++ and a GUI. I guess that's what I get for learning VB first.

If you are interested in learning Python... 2.6.x is the way to go at the moment... 3.x is very new and as things go with any new language (particularly when compat issues arise since 3.x isnt fully backwards compat) -- its very slow in becoming adopted... most everything you find will be in reference to 2.5.x or 2.6.x still.

well so far in 3.x the only thing different i found was you have to use print like print() ... and a few other details, but nothing major.

If you believe that, then try running any python app/framework written for 2.5 or even 2.6.x and you will see that there are much larger changes ;)

Yes but what really is the advantage that Python 3.x brings?
