Hi all,
we are starting with bi-monthly Python User Group meetings in Skopje,
Macedonia. The meetings are targeted for both beginners and more
experienced users.

The basic idea is to have an 1 hour presentation at the start for the
beginners and an 1 hour ad-hoc discussion about projects, applications,
interesting stuff etc.

I'd like to gather some guidance/experince/thoughts about some beginner
oriented python lectures we could use?

My first idea was to do something like the "Python module of the Week",
but maybe there's a better approach?

thanks

If you are all English-speakers then perhaps you could consider showing
a PyCon video - see

Good luck with the group. I hope to see PyCon Macedonia emerging before
too long!

regards
Steve

Great resource, exactly what I needed.

So, they use this book http://www.greenteapress.com/thinkpython/ as a
guide, seems like a good choice.

I also learned about the tutor mail list:

That's certainly something I'm considering for the more advanced users

Thanks :)
I guess we'd have to wait a decade or so for a PyCon here

You might be surprised. Python is really taking off right now.
