Wrong order of priorities, methinks. Browsing python.org will help you a
fair bit with python. Reading
<http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html> will help you learn
more about Python and any other thing one might ever post to a newsgroup
or mail-list about. From your various posts, it is clear that the
lessons of the second piece would be much more helpful to your future
projects than would be a browse of python.org.

Best,
