Seven years ago, my story was similar. I started off with "The Python Quick
Book" (Manning) and "Python - Visual Quickstart Guide" (Peachpit Press).
Both are very easy to follow. I still pick up the "Quick" book once in a
while for reference.
This "Tutor" list helped a lot. I learned by tryi
So I'm in the process of learning Python, and have been working on a program to
solve a very simple S-I-R model, used to study infectious diseases. Basically,
it's just a smallish set of differential equations which need to be numerically
integrated over time.
Working off of a template program,
I have found that there are a couple of ways to convert a byte array to a
string in Python. Is there any advantage or disadvantage to either method?
my_bytes = b'this is a test'
str(my_bytes,'utf-8') yields 'this is a test'
my_bytes.decode('utf-8';) yeilds 'this is a test'

Hey doug please don't be discouraged..., and be glad you didn't start in C++
like me... talk about being discouraged...
But anyways, I just started as well. I've only been programming like 5 months.
So I understand you very much :)
Here are some of the better (more clear) tutorials I ran across

Hey folks,
I'm Doug. I've been using computers since second grade, and I know a
little about them. I am, however, completely new to programming. I
don't even know what I know about it. I'd like some social interaction
with this, but I can't go back to school until summer or fall of this
year. I do

So, just for the heck of it, I thought, what would happen
if I put a word into the matrix, such that its first letter is

The guy who had the post about the "vowel search" exercise got me to thinking
about matrices of letters, and thence to word search games, which I have made a
time or two by hand and they are a pain.
So I decided to try making a program that would put words into a word search.
This is very basic

It's difficult to see exactly what the data looks like as it is received. Where
are the line breaks? At the commas?
Is the "header" just the first line? Is "1Time" considered part of the header?
Is everything after "1Time" considered "data"?
I can see several simple alternatives to your method
