[Lilug] Python Talk: Tuesday? Prep?

[ralph lambert]

Hi from Myrtle Beach!

Been following this list for years and have never commented before now.
Sadly I can never make it up to the meetings or the picnic, its a long
drive, especially through Virginia.

Anyway I recently decided I want to learn Python, just because I want to.
Will this talk be posted like many of the others have?  Hope so.
