  First you will need to get an IDE. I would check it out herealso a good place for help with python is http://python-forum.org/py/index.php.And if you're looking for some tuts, here are a few.http://www.diveintopython.org/ (I found very useful when I was learning).http://coolnamehere.com/geekery/python/pythontut.html (this covers the setup of python and very basics)http://www.sthurlow.com/python/ (covers same as above, but goes a little farther).http://www.pygame.org/news.html (a library to help you with game dev after you got basics down)Hope I helped you out and good luck,Joe   ;  Wingware 101 is a pretty good IDE also, but any text editor that does syntax highlighting, combined with the command prompt is all you need.To start off with I'd go to http://docs.python.org/tut/.Then, once you've got the basics of the language down, check out pygame, when you're ready to start trying to make a game.If you're looking for a book, I can't be of much help to you, although if Deitel & Deitel makes a Python book, I'd get that.  I found their C++ and Java books to be excellent, with many examples, excerises, etc.  They are thick and heavy as hell though, and not cheap, although maybe you could get a used one on Amazon or BN for less.   ;  Thanks Friends i am really thank full to you for your cooperation with me.   ;Python Resources.
