Our "Text"[edit]
Our text Learn Python the Hard Way has a different setup in Learn Python the Hard Way - Exercise 0 , the author is fairly feirce in his belief that this is the right way to go, I do not. So we have a different setup. You may want to read what he has to say anyway, but please if you do it don not tell me.
