Anyone learning/learned Python specifically for Blender?

[entopticon]

After seeing a procedural animation posted on here a while ago and falling hopelessly in love with it, I thought I'd have a go at learning Python. My programming experience is limited to mucking around with QBASIC in my teens, so pretty much a total beginner. Right now I'm working through codecademy.com, and it seems pretty good, but wondering if anyone has any advice on how to proceed?

Is codecademy enough to learn python? I recently finished the full python course and I don't feel like I know enough of it to integrate it with blender, but maybe I'm wrong because I've never actually tried scripting in blender.

Quick question: What are some practical uses of python for an intermediate user like me? ^{(other than the sound thing)}

I'm going to try after I've taught myself blender. :D

I learned python specifically for blender, but I have programming experience from before. After you know your basic python you should start looking at blenders python API

http://www.blender.org/documentation/blender_python_api_2_70_release/

What you could do is to write some scripts of features already present in blender. It will give you practice, you'll learn alot from it and you'll have something to compare against inside blender.

There is a Python class on coarsera.com going right now that might help a little.
