Python Beginnings

[This was lecture W2FA13. Elaborate and include !]
The lesson using the online Python service "SymPy Live", which does some
elementary number theory, is now linked to our webpages (under "Class
Matters"). Be sure you update your browser. 

You now have three different lessons which can serve as a first entry into
Python programming. 

If you have no working Python on your computer, use SymPy Live. 
As an exercise, you might use SymPy Live to do the Fibonacci lesson. 

If you have a functional Python on your computer, but it does not have the
turtle module in it, you should do the lesson on the 
Fibonacci numbers. 

If your Python does have the turtle module, start with the turtle circle,
since it is geometrical in nature, and draws pictures.
