I'm trying to learn it right now. I'd love some study budies. I'm a total N00b.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Apr 6, 2011 at 4:55 PM, Tripta Gupta <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:gupta.tripta@gmail.com">gupta.tripta@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Python the Hard Way" and am wondering if there's anyone else on this<br>
list that is learning Python and would be interested in starting a<br>
study group of some sort. We could start with meeting up a couple times a<br>
week, code together, ask questions, share projects, etc. Sometimes<br>
I'll attend Aditya's PyClass to ask questions, but would like to be in<br>
a group that meets more regularly.<br>
<br>
Eventually I'd like to participate in developing a Python community in<br>
SF that has goals similar to that of Railsbridge but I figure reaching<br>
out to the<br>
Noisebridge group might be a good place to start.<br>
<br>
Get in touch if you're interested!<br>
