That's my favorite. I think it's just about right for someone who's
new to Python but not new to programming.

Load it on your PC or Mac and get started...

Great suggestion. And, once you get going, you may find that Python is
so good at so many things that you can find uses for it even without
loading it onto your IBM i. At least half of the Python I write for my
job runs on a PC, some of it completely independent of the i, some of
it interacting with the i via ODBC. A lot of people go the ODBC route
(in part because it's still not common knowledge that you can run
Python on the i itself).
