A quickstart tutorial that allows to become familiar with the Python language. The exercises expect knowledge of basic concepts of programming. A group of 2nd year computer science students with no previous Python knowledge required 60'-90' to complete the exercises. With about 3 hours time, the exercise is suitable for non-programmers as well.
