The python.org tutorial[0] is available in both 2 & 3, and is a perfectly great, but often overlooked, resource for learning the language.

It is a great tutorial for someone with some programming experience but for complete beginners it's not adequate.


That is awesome, and good for her getting a fun project done.

But I am curious, why is her age relevant?


Williams syndrome is a CHROMOSOMAL disorder which has PROFOUND effects, not just on personality but on physical appearance. It isn't all that common.

Please don't diagnose your wife with chromosomal disorders based on her being friendly and anxious and bad at charts. Perhaps she has a learning disability, like tons of other people.


It is a spectrum disorder where individuals with small deletions can be regarded as normal. Fibetera's wife may well have a mild version - the only way to know is to do a DNA test.


I would never diagnose her with anything, I am a software developer not a doctor. It just points me in the way of some research for possible things we could talk to a doctor about.


A close friend of mine has Turner's syndrome, also a chromosomal disorder with potentially severe physical effects (such as "neck webbing").

Fortunately for her, she doesn't exhibit the gross physical abnormalities. So while I do endorse the basic sentiment of your comment, you're not on 100% solid ground.


> Tom Preston-Werner is the only one with a wife

This is not true.


My apologies, I clearly didn't search well enough, and in retrospect it probably wasn't even worth saying anyway.


"Did not expect this to go anywhere" -- right, you just accidentally submitted it to HN
