[ale] good python tutorial

[Charles Shapiro]

I'm fond of _Dive_Into_Python ( http://diveintopython.org/ ),
available free on the net or in print for money.  Your daughter may
find this book heavy going unless she's already done some coding
though.  The python documentation itself has a tutorial (
http://docs.python.org/release/2.6/tutorial/index.html ) which is not
too bad. O'Reilly Books also has some interesting stuff, though I have
no personal experience with it.
