I am struggling to understand the basic principles of Python having =
spent many years as a pure Amateur tinkering with a variety of BASIC  as =
you can see on my site at http://www.sigord.co.uk/  I think you will =
agree all such versions of Basic I have used are far easier to =
understand than Python. Though with my limited knowledge I accept Python =
may have many advantages over say Liberty Basic etc.

The problem I am finding is most of the sites claiming to help =
understand Python devote far too much space bragging about the wonders =
of Python instead of concentrating how to make sensible use of it. For =
example I struggle to find examples of such as below if you could please =
help me. If I manage to duplicate some of my efforts on my site with =
Python I will be happy to upload the code to my site. I will also try to =
upload working exec files of such also, except my previous attempts at =
downloading the relevant software was blocked by AVG software as risky.=20
