RE: [pygame] help... please

Good advice. 

http://www.python.org/doc/Newbies.html is an excellent place
too. Actually all the documentation at python.org is quite
good. 

Don't forget to tinker with a python interactive shell
as you learn features of the language and when you come across
something you don't completely understand in whatever
documentation/tutorial you're reading.  Actually working with
the language will teach you volumes more than just reading
docs.  Good luck.
