[Courses] [python] Lesson 1: Hello world

[christopher bradski]

1. Currently Python 3.2 in Arch linux 64 as python and Python 2.7.2 as
python2.

print statements for those who are curious:
python3:
name = 'chris'
print("hello,", name)

python2.7
name = 'chris'
print "hello,", name

These were in the interactive interpreter :)
