                       Disclaimers
    I wrote this tutorial / introduction to Python while I 
      was learning it myself.  Therefore, I cannot 
      speak from any significant experience with 
      Python, and these notes may contain factual 
      errors.  I have tried all of the code examples that 
      I present.   --C. D. Sherrill, January 2010
