I was wondering how i should get started in Python. I currently use LUA for my PSP but im trying to enter the Windows gamming coding. I was scanning around and saw that some people wrote some games in Python and so i thought maybe its worth a shot.

So what do i need?

Easy or hard for games?

Newb level(me) or pro?

Hmm, there is an excellent book on python programming, which I used to learn python better. The book is called "How to think like a computer scientist: learning with python" - or something like that. It sounds darn dull, I know, but its worth reading. A quick google will fetch it for you, its free, and available in HTML and PS among other formats.

For python game programming, I'd put my money on PyGame (pygame.org, iirc). It allows you to use SDL and OpenGL, atleast so I think. Don't take my word for it.

Generally, python code is easy to understand, write and read so you shouldn't have too many difficulties since you allready know LUA. By the way.. What exactly do you use LUA for on your PSP? (I assume you mean a Playstation Postable, if not, disregard
