[ale] good python tutorial

[jcpilman at gmail.com]

MIT has a long list of OpenCourseWare including:
6.189 A Gentle Introduction to Programming Using Python
http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-189-a-gentle-introduction-to-programming-using-python-january-iap-2010/
I have not checked it out yet because I am currently taking another
online programming course from Harvard. I believe the lectures are
available in video, maybe on youtube.

I was at the pyatl meeting last night. The topic "Fun ways to learn
more Python" reviewed the websites:
http://projecteuler.net/  - not python specific, but a lot of python
solutions here
and
http://www.pythonchallenge.com/

The speaker also recommended the IRC python  channel on freenode.
