i figure the best way to write with a python is to stick your arm down its throat and use you hand in there to curve the body around a pencil...

http://www.sthurlow.com/python/ <- looks like it show you from the very beginning... ie installation

I've used python to do a "hello world" app.. but didn't go any further. I don't have time to learn all these damn languages. I'll get there though... just not today
