Hi,

judging by your first post, I don't think python is the language for you, as it demands strict *text formatting* to work. You'd be better off with C++ as you can write all your code on one line without any punctuation 8)

seriously though, I don't mean to be unkind. Unfortunately the only way to learn python-ogre is to follow the tutorials and carefully study the demos which come with the package. But before all of that I'd recommend learning python on its own so you have a good idea of how the language works before getting into the more complex area of 3D. Heres some links you may want to check out ( give yourself lots of time to sit down and really concentrate on the tutorials or you won't get it ).

good luck ;)

Then you might want to have a look at my project Bloop (see sig). Still in pretty early stages of development (I've been having a few family problems recently and haven't had the time to dedicate to it I would have liked) but the project was intended to be a step-by-step guide in putting together a simple game with python-ogre.

As for learning python I often recommend a book called "Core Python Programming" by Wesley J. Chung, I used(and still use) it a lot while I was still getting the hang of python. Its great not only as a beginner guide but it also covers the more advanced topics in python programming(decorators, metaclasses, closures etc.) too.

Hope this helps.
