In preparation for the launch of the Raspi, I've been looking around on the intertubes for useful python tutorials (I'm a n00b). Here are a few I think are worth sharing (I'm focusing on game programming, but everything is welcome)

 

A very well written set of tutorials using Pygame, in an object-oriented-programming style

 

An introduction to PyQt4 - currently the only way to get openGL acceleration using Python on the Raspi (I think)

 

A Programmer’s Introduction to Python (free online e-book)

 

“Invent Your Own Computer Games with Python” (free e-book)

 

How to Think Like a Computer Scientist: Learning with Python (PDF)

The last link is an older version.

this is a bit newer and covers Python3

 

Think Python: How to Think Like a Computer Scientist

Oh yeah, thanks. I noticed that there was a new version out, but couldn't find a link to the full text.

 

I'm using python 2.7 myself - it seems to be much better supported - with libraries, and with tutorials. I'm not happy with the situation :/

Thanks for the link to the Pygame book. I hadn't seen that before.
