Hmmm...  there is already a Python Tutorial online at www.python.org.

In what ways is it deficient to the point of you writing another Tutorial?

What I'm leading up to is, taking into account your proposal to release
your work for free perhaps it might be more beneficial to the Python
community for you to put your energy into expanding and extending the
existing Tutorial?
