Hi Bob,
Others might find this useful so I will respond to the list. There are some
good resources for learning Python programming and for learning how to
program using Python. The book "Learn to Program Using Python" by Alan
Gauld is excellent and would be suitable for anyone. "Learn to Think Like a
Computer Scientist" <http://www.ibiblio.org/obp/thinkCSpy/> is another good
resource.
