Python is a blast!

I am probably in the beginner/intermediate range for programming. I have used Ruby tons, but I wanted to learn more about coding. (Totally self taught...)

I signed up for Coursera's Learn to Program: Crafting Quality Code, but it uses Python. I didn't fancy trying to learn Python *and* the prinicples for the class, so I am reviewing the basics with the already finished class Learn to Program: The Fundamentals.

Python has been lots of fun so far. I am two weeks into the Fundamentals. I have taken two quizzes and have started the first homework. I had some problems getting Python's IDLE to play nicely on my Mac, but I had to fix my Tcl/Tk installation. Pretty straight-forward fix! And, I am loving Python's ease of use so far.
