This is a follow-up to this thread: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18373927

Heard about Rasberry PI? Python will commonly be used to program it.
It is never too late to join, Please reply and tell me that your interested and keep me informed of your progress!
When you have completed a phase, write a reply here.

A few people was asking to learn Python but lacking the time. So my idea is to get people signed up to this thread, and I will walk all participant's through learning python at a much slower pace. Pretty experimental, haven't seen a thread like this before!
If you already know some programming, you might want to skip a phase! Let me know what phase you are capable of completing. You can help out the beginners.
If your a complete beginner, this thread is ideal for you from the start.
I am going to do it in Phases (like chapters in a book but much more interactive),
Phase One: Figure out who wants to take part! Reply to register your interest.

Phase Two (Post #21): Get people set up with the relevant software. Make sure everyone is set up before going onto next phase.
Phase Three: Teach basic syntax of python using simple examples, while explaining each example
Phase Three Point Five: Explain some stuff I missed during Phase Three.
Phase Four: Explain where to find more information about python, what modules are available, how to use commonly used modules that come with python.
Phase Five: Make a basic text-based game.
Phase Six: Try some basic web application development using bottlepy.
Phase Seven: Make a GUI application using pyqt4.
Phase Eight: Make a 2D game using pygame (You know, proper 2D like pacman!).
Phase Nine: Learn databases using SQLAlchemy.
Phase Ten: Learn some serious web application development using Pyramid and use the SQLAlchemy knowledge from Phase Nine! This phase is a beast!
I know some pretty cool networking stuff, perhaps we could network up a game. So I guess that could be Phase 11.
We are currently at Phase Three, See Post #107 below!
