[Courses] [python] Lesson 1: Hello world

[svye lunite]

Hi all,

Sorry to be so late!

Homework:

1. I'm running debian squeeze/sid and Python 2.5.4.
2. Of course I've read all the answers but I had guessed the concatenation
part but not the space part.
3. Monty Python!! I'm a big fan myself :-)

And now to lesson number 2! Thanks a lot for the course.
