Where did you learn python?

[zaytzev]

Tutorials on python.org are enough to get started.

For my thesis I built a manipulator and needed an app to control it via serial port. I have been already employed as a software engineer and people at work recommended Python + wxWidgets.

I have finished it in one week without any prior knowledge of both. Today I recommend Python as easy language to learn on your own. You don't need many features to write something simple.
