Learning Python

Thanks to the Google Apps account, I'm now learning Python (to some extent). The first important task when learning a new language is learning to read errors. After a few, I think I know what the interpreter is trying to tell me when it's not happy. But the first time is always the funnest.

As a complete Python newbie, I initially missed the difference between:

class MainPage(webapp.RequestHandler):
 def get(self):
   self.response.headers['Content-Type'] = 'text/plain'
   self.response.out.write('Hello, webapp World!')

def main():
 application = webapp.WSGIApplication(
                                      [('/', MainPage)],
                                      debug=True)
 wsgiref.handlers.CGIHandler().run(application)

and

class MainPage(webapp.RequestHandler):
 def get(self):
   self.response.headers['Content-Type'] = 'text/plain'
   self.response.out.write('Hello, webapp World!')

  def main():
   application = webapp.WSGIApplication(
                                        [('/', MainPage)],
                                        debug=True)
   wsgiref.handlers.CGIHandler().run(application)

10 minutes into the lexical spec and not only did I get the error here, I got a far better and first hand understand of Python. Now the task is to keep learning...
