[Year 12 SofDev] Python Links and Resources

[Guy Flaherty]

Dear all,

With all the list activity recently, I was reminded that I think I said I would provide some links for Python resources for anyone considering using Python in SD next year. I mashed up a list of resources I use and made sure all the links work, so here they are. Hope this is not considered 'spamming' the list ;)

Also, I am considering using PyQT to teach the required GUI part of SD next year using Python, seeing as we are required to teach GUI. I would be interested to hear what anyone else using Python is/will be doing to satisfy this requirement.
