Python Programming for the absolute beginner

Fantastic book - probably the best you can get

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...916098-8056459

-How to Think Like a Computer Scientist: Learning With Python: Great book, available in both printed and free downloadable version.
-A Byte of Python: This is the first one I read. Though still in progress (it was recently ported to Wiki so others could contribute), it already offers a great deal of information, and it's easy to understand, even for those who've never coded before.
-Dive Into Python: For experienced programmers only, but it's downloadable so you might want to keep this site bookmarked until you're ready to read this book.
-Non-Programmers Tutorial For Python: A fairly good amount of content, and a bit outdated (though it's now in Wikibooks, so it's bound to change and evolve). Also good for people who've never programmed anything (as the title suggests).
-Python.org: Documentation Index: Links to all the good sites (above links are included here).
-Python Tutorial: Essential, but not really aimed at non-programmers. I recommend reading it after gaining some experience, for learning things you might have missed.

Python for the absolute beginner

[jason]

i agree with both of these posts, i have python for the absolute beginner.

but if you want one that is actually in blender, try here:

http://jmsoler.free.fr/didacticiel/b...n_script00.htm

that's what i wanted too, but it's the only one i've found and somewhat incomplete. it does have 'fun' stuff like actual creation of mesh, some of which requires a full education in mathematics (which i don't have )

i am a mechanical engineer and i have mathematical concepts , i think that should work
you know the one would like to see some examples after all about some animations with python.thanks for the post anyway

I have found a link where there are lots of e-books on python. It has even o'riley ebooks.

The link: ftp://202.115.128.221/python

I'd suggest you remove that link, applegrew. You're linking to a site which offers free downloads of (if I'm not mistaken) commercial books.

Hi'
I am also trying to learn Python. Thankfully the resources aren't missing. I just found this very comprehensive list which has been recently (April 16th) updated.

I find it useful to look at some of the scripts already posted. There are usually comments within which point me in the right direction. Then I find those which make me look stuuuupid. I try to break them down and do a search on the forums, wikis, and BPy documents;-)

I've recently set up a wiki for Python and how to use it with Blender. It is not by any means complete, but I've got a few articles written, and am fairly steadily adding new content. The url is http://blenderpython.org

If you feel you can make a contribution to the site, please create an account and let me know so I can give you editing rights.

And don't forget the Summer of Documentation project
"Introduction to Python Scripting" by Stephen Swaney (stivs). It appears to be pretty much finished at this point. You can find it here.
