Hey,

I'm new to the whole programming scene and have been interested in doing this for a while. I started doing an online tutorial for python, I have a few questions.

1. How do I apply my python language to "real" programs, I only seem to be doing text based programs. Can python apply this to "real" programs, for example a program to do a scheduled task (windows does this in the control panel, but just for an example)

2. Whats the learning curve? I have heard python is supposed to be easy, how long until i can start making said "real" programs, how much time per day/week should I spend programming, I may not have a lot of time once college starts (i'im asking for a reference or guide to how much can be done per day to still progress)

Thanks,

TotalNoob.
