Python class

Don't have the time to look at the links right now, but am curious...would this be suitable for the non programmers as well?
Eric
Anyone interested in a python class + hack session? Maybe a 2 day thing? We can just steal the videos from: http://code.google.com/edu/languages/google-python-class/ and work through the exercises as a group. I think I could host it, but I would need a few python experts on hand to answer questions. I've taken this before and it's a great crash course. I'm still very much a python beginner-intermediate though.Who are our python gurus?

I'd be interested in this class, as a student, rather than an instructor.
Eric, Python was originally designed as a pedagogical programming language to replace Pascal, while still being useful as a general purpose programming language, unlike BASIC or Pascal.

at work, used it extensively working on my master's thesis, and
consider myself at least an intermediate-level user. I wouldn't mind
coming and hanging out during these lessons, get to know the crowd a
bit and maybe offer my help if I can.

I would be happy to teach general object oriented programming for
beginners, I am not an expert in python yet but I plan to use it in
the near future and it's always more fun as a group.

I wrote all my own examples, and generally just use a projector and have
folks bring their own laptops to follow along.
The content and format of this could all change depending on the class
make-up. At AHA we usually aim for "omg i've never ever programmed
before" for these classes, but if you were all comfortable procedural
programming and the difference between "an integer", "a string" and "a
collection", we can kind of start wherever. In addition, if there's
something specific you're all interested in learning, we can work that
in too.
Of note as well is a class coming up at AHA, taught by our own Xander
Honkala (who I believe started his adventures with python at one of my
courses), which uses PyGame (a python SDL framework) to teach
rudimentary game programming. That takes place all throughout December,
and more info is available here:

Anyone interested in a python class + hack session? Maybe a 2 day thing? We can just steal the videos from: http://code.google.com/edu/languages/google-python-class/ and work through the exercises as a group. I think I could host it, but I would need a few python experts on hand to answer questions. I've taken this before and it's a great crash course. I'm still very much a python beginner-intermediate though.Who are our python gurus?

BASIC/QBASIC in high school, but that was well over a decade ago, and
I doubt I'd be able to do much beyond the Hello World program now (not
to mention it really doesn't compare much to modern languages
anyways).
I'm not expecting college level educations here, just kind of a rough
intro, get the basics down kinda thing.
