The learning curve for python, at least the scripting part, was extremely small and easy, or maybe that’s because I already know Perl. Here’s my set of getting started tips on Python. And  believe me, if you haven’t started yet, please do.

- Most Linuxes come with python interpreter, if not use a package manager to get the latest interpreter.

- Read the Python Tutorial by Guido Von Rossum. The most (100 pages) you will ever read about python, beacuse its faster to do than read about python.

- Any good editor will do, but if you are one of those IDEated individuals, use the pydev plugin for Eclipse.

- For a simpler feel, you can get the python plugins for Gedit from this location. Just install it and my favorite, GEdit becomes python wise.  My friend also suggests using Emacs for python development.

Thats about it !! Please feel free to add comments on what else you read, did, installed to become a python developer.
