This is not an elite group, everyone is treated with the same respect, unless they are hostile.
One think I would strongly suggest is that you start with the latest version of python which is currently 3.6.4
I would follow snippsat's installation tutorial, as some thinks that should be done automatically are not.
You can find that tutorial here: https://python-forum.io/Thread-Basic-Par...er-Windows (but use version 3.6.4)
and part 2 here: https://python-forum.io/Thread-Basic-Par...nt-Windows
Some books will tell you to only use python 2.7.
Those books are frowned upon here.
Explore: https://python-forum.io/Thread-A-List-of...-Resources
And examine python packages here (all 124, 823 of them): https://pypi.python.org/pypi
most of which can be installed simply with:
pip3 install packagenameYou're in for a fun trip.
