| If you have Python installed, then open the help file and browse to the Tutorial, that should be a decent start. | Top |

| There's no point to reading all of it, just read what you need to start typing - that would be the tutorial. Then find something that you would want to write a script for and start writing it, checking with the docs when you need to. | Top |

| If you've never done much coding the docs that come with python are going to be dificult to understand. You might be better off with a book like How to think like a computer scientist (found here http://www.ibiblio.org/obp/thinkCSpy/ )
or one of the python books from Prentice Hall or O'reilly. You'll also probably want to read up on regular expressions.
