(An Unofficial) Python Tutorial Wiki

I added the "Do You have Python?" section. It was too presumptuous to assume the reader already has Python. Also I updated Invoking the Interpreter section to tell it like it is - people only want 2 things when learning Python:

  1. The simple interactive prompt (testing examples, playing around)
  2. The simple 'run my script' technique (same as above)

Anything else only adds to clutter - I don't know of any new user who wanted to use -m (or even -c, when it easier to test interactively) options, I suggest they be removed. This is not a reference for command line options.

It might be worth mentioning one of the online Python interpreters for people who want to have a go without installing anything.
