I know this is a bit off topic, but I feel I should point out:<br>
<br>
- A free on-line Computer Science 101 class, starting April 23,<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.coursera.org/course/cs101" target="_blank">https://www.coursera.org/course/cs101</a><br>
<br>
(It doesn't use Python, it covers the basics and is taught by the same professor<br>
that developed the google python class)<br>
<br>
- The large, free on-line classes are run around a forum that provide help and interaction.<br>
<br>
This blog entry by one of the professors talks about the experience<br>

<br>
Finally, you may want to check Python.org for communities to get involved with:<br>

Hope This Helps,<br>
