[Ilugc] [OT] Python 2.4 Released - Can we have a PUGC please?

[Kumaraguru]

Hi Prabhu,

> There are a lot of good free docs on Python.  You don't need a book.

Yes, I do have all these free docs/pdf books[Sridhar ;-)].
But like me there are many others who can't read much on screen alone.
Printed Books are really comfortable to the eyes.


> If you need someone to teach you Python, you need serious help. ;-)

  Knee-jerk-reaction or you are plain kidding :-)) . I am not an
  expert pythonista. But I am not entirely new to python too.
  When I talk about getting python in IT training centers I am
  implying some means of popularising python and making it available
  as an option for developers. "Serious help"..ok, so be it. Not
  everybody can grasp everything they read. Sharing practical
  experiences is definitely helpful.

  I understand your problem. Though it's been a headache for you,
  I very much appreciate your ILUGC efforts and want to thank you
  for that :-) though frankly I am not yet committed to Linux.


 Is anybody out there who has the time, resources(Bandwidth) etc.
 to start a Python User Group on the lines of ILUGC. I promise to
 help in every possible way I can.

Kumaraguru
