Python is also great for game programming. Sure you can't make Doom 4 but a good start.

Learning Python to mod Mount and Blade is like learning nuclear physics to build a pipe bomb.

Agreed. 99,9% of what is in those tutorials is way off from what one needs to mod M&B. The best tutorial I found so far is armagan's code itself. Especially the header_*.py files.

Actually this link http://hetland.org/python/instant-python.php pretty much covers all the basics to mod m&b. But decided extra information won't harm anybody. Moderators could move it to the off-topic if they want.

I see no reason for that. Like you said, the more tutorials we have, the better. I wasn't attacking your post, just highlighting that most operations and variables will only be understood if the source code is studied.
