Don’t worry, I’m not jumping ship, I’m just going to have to do a
project for a class in Python and I want to give myself as large an
advantage as possible.
Does anyone have any Python tutorials that explain the foundations of
the language in terms of Ruby (perhaps?) or maybe you’ve got a link to
a Python tutorial that you found easy to read coming from Ruby?
I ask because Python gives me ISS (Irritable Syntax Syndrome) and when
I start looking at some of the tuts on the Python site my eyes glaze
over.
Any and all help is appreciated (short of advice on getting the
Professor to switch the language to Ruby).

For a while last year, everybody was blogging python vs. ruby: graham,
Fowler, Bicking, Martelli, Eckel, Bray etc.
awaretek.com has 125 python tutorials, and download the free trials of
wingware and Komodo, as well as the documentation pack you get from
Activestate. They make python as painless as possible (which isn’t to
say it’ll be completely intuitive).
