Ask HN: Python community for beginner?

I am a none programmer and wanted to learn Python. I've been picking up some random book to practice and also did the codeacademy. I'm looking for python community where I can post the code/questions when things doesn't go right as the book say. Any advice will be greatly appreciated! Thank you :)

Stack overflow is great for that type of thing.. I started using python about 2 years ago and there seemed to be loads of python programmers on it. There may be some bitchiness about the question being a dupe, or in the wrong section but nevertheless you will get really helpful answers usually in a matter of minutes.

The r/learnpython subreddit has always seemed pretty helpful. There's a decent IRC channel associated with that subreddit. http://reddit.com/r/learnpython http://reddit.com/r/learnpython

I strongly suggest you stay away from the "dive into python" series and look at Zed Shaw's excellent "Learn Python the Hard Way" series. To read it online, it is free[1]. I've got a random collection of links I send to some of my coworkers when they ask about newbie python devs that might be of use to you[2].
