Python for Newbies

by HackerVinoth

Python is, in short, a scripting language. It is similar in function to Perl, but to my knowledge is not nearly as popular. To fix that is part of the goal of this tutorial. It is a very high-level language that can perform complex tasks, but is surprisingly easy to learn.

We were completely successful in this engagement, and wanted to recount the steps taken as an illustration.
