Penzilla.net's Python Tutorial

1/12/06:

I'm still in the process of moving old pages to the new layout, sorry it's taking so long. I'm also updating/rewriting pages as I go. I'm hitting the most popular pages first but I will get to everything.

The PyGame Page is finally setup and getting filled in. There are 3 examples available, and not nearly enough documentation for them. Hopefully they're still useful to look at and tinker with.

If you're interested in a specific topic and toss me an e-mail about it I'll do my best to get pages for that topic up sooner.

Spent a day or two figuring out CSS and porting these pages into it. In my opinion the site looks better, is now more consistent, and easier to use. If you like(or dislike) the changes please feel free to drop me an e-mail about them.

I have a PyGame example or two coming. I just need to write up an overview and post them.

Fixed a problem related to my server move that prevented a number of code examples from showing up. Also added some more Numeric content, including some information about the NumPtr package which can be used to simplify passing Numeric Arrays to and from SWIG'ed code.

After an extremely long period of ignoring this page I'm finally back at it. I've already made some updates and will be continuing to do so over the next few weeks as time permits.

Thanks to the people who have sent me e-mails over the last few months!
