Python exercises

Hi,

I was wondering if someone could point me in the direction of some
online exercises to help me learn to program (in Python).

I'm currently working through Magnus Hetland's Practical Python, which
doesn't have any exercises/problem sets (for the beginning chapters on
things like string manipulation etc). I'd rather not get another book.

Cheers,
Gordon

I'm a Python beginner and I'm working through 'How to Think Like a Computer
Scientist' at http://www.ibiblio.org/obp/thinkCSpy/ and there are exercises
given as you go through the text to illustrate points.

I'm curious about something... many Artima.com members who have a Java background and learned Python have come to the conclusion that Java and Python are highly complimentary languages. They would never consider filling the place Java has in their toolbox with Python, but recognize there are many tasks where it really pays to add Python to the mix. I want to ask you hard-core c.l.p Pythonistas: Do you use Python for everything? (and...

Well, after years of teaching grade 12 students c++, I've decided to make a switch to Python. Why? * interactive mode for learning * less fussing with edit - compile - link - run - debug - edit - compile - link - run -..... * lots of modules * I was getting tired of teaching c++! Bored teacher = bad instruction.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
