Ummm, I don't understand all the dislike. For someone with my background, this was absolutely perfect. It's one of the very first things I read when I decided I wanted to learn Python. Fast forward several years, and now writing Python code is what I do for a living. I could not be happier. I was a violinist, and Zed Shaw's way of teaching the basics completely resonated with me. Thank you, Zed.
