Because Python is a scripting language, it has an interpreter which can
execute code one line at a time. Thus, a great way to learn is to go
through the tutorial and try things out using the interpreter (which is
part of the download).
If you don't have Windows XP, just go to the Python.org download page.
You can find your version and go through the same tutorial. Please
e-mail me with any questions.
