Learn Python the best way - by doing
TryPy is meant to be both a resource for learning Python and an opprotunity to contribute to a culture of programming knowledge. In this package you will find tutorials for understanding basic Python syntax, using third party modules in your code, and how to write reusable Python code. Additionally, visitors are encouraged to contribute an example of their favorite module implementation to encourage other site users with the hope of sharing the various technology available for use with Python.

In order to take advantage of this codebase, it stands to reason you need to have Python installed on your computer. You can find the link to download Python here. For the purposes of the tutorial, we'll be working with Python 2.7.x; consult the specific demo package for the Python version to use.
To test whether or not you have Python installed, you can enter the command python --version to print the version of Python pointed to by your interpreter. If you want to take advantage of the sandbox Python offers through its shell, simply enter python in the terminal to open a Python shell. In here you can enter in single Python command, or string together conditionals, loops, functions, and classes.
To run a Python script in its simplest form, enter the command python /path/to/script. For example, if there is a script named hello.py in our current directory, entering python hello.py will run the hello.py script.
