Hello all, this is my first time using a mailing list, so I'm not sure if
I'm doing this right!

Yep. You send a mail to the list, we reply,. Easy :-)
One thing to remember is when you reply use "ReplyAll"
on your mail tool, not simple Reply.

of programming. (I'm new to programming) What I'm looking for is a tutorial
series that walks you through the steps of writing a useful program in
Python.

Try the Case Study in my tutorial, iot tales you through what is
supposed to be the typical evolution of an idea from a simple concept
(a word counter) to something grander (a grammar counter) then
adding a GUI front end. It is still somewhat contrioved since it is a
beginners tutorial adfter all, but it might give you some ideas.

There are also two rolling examples throughout the tutorial:
- a simple multiplication table printer in the early topics
- an address book which extends all the way to a full client-server
database driven program. (Eventually it will have a GUI and web
front end too! :-)


Whether it be a text editor, a simple browser, etc,

Neither of those is particularly "simple"! You probably want to
moderate your expectations for your first projects.

teach me how I can use everything I learned about manipulating strings,
creating classes, and importing modules and how to stir it all up into
something meaningful.

Hopefully my case study covers all of those.
