 		There has been a load of Python chat here recently so yeh their are people using it. There have been a few RPG's written using the PyGame library. Check it out.

 		I'm new to Python, but, I'm currently reading an excellent book on the topic. It's called Python Programming for the absolute beginner written by Michael Dawson. It's a LOT less annoying than a "for dummies" book and it doesn't talk down to you either. Give it a try!!

Dummies books are my favorite. I wish they had Python books in the dummies series. What's so anoying about them?

There are two ways of constructing a software design: one way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies; the other is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies.

 		Thanks for the tip I'll see if I can't get a hold of it and see what it has to say. A really good online tutorial for Python is the "How To Think Like A Computer Scientist" I'm not sure who wrote it, but google it and I'm sure you'll find it pretty easy. And I agree the For Dummies books are annoying.
