I still remember when I was a Python newbie. Just getting it set up was an endlessly frustrating experience. I had to choose between 2.7 and 3, and of course I chose python 3 but then my hello world script failed with a confusing error message. I had copied it straight from a get-started-with-python tutorial. Of course I assumed that I must not have installed it correctly (it turned out that the problem actually was the print statement needed parentheses, which became a requirement in python 3 but I had no way of knowing).
This will help me get my friends into Python, which is great!
