Even Red Hat isn't still supporting 2.2. You can quite easily get started on 3.2 on Windows - though I would recommend grabbing 3.3 and using that - just start with this tutorial: http://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/ I don't know exactly what will be different in 2.2, but there's no point learning a version that old. If nothing else, you'll miss out on a lot of neat features. ChrisA
