title: How can a total, complete beginner read source code?
body: <p>I am a complete, total beginner in programming, although I do have knowledge of CSS and HTML.</p>
  
  <p>I would like to learn Python. I downloaded lots of source code but the amount of files and the complexity really confuses me. I don't know where to begin. Is there a particular order I should look for?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: Sorry guys, I forgot to mention that I already have both the online tutorial and a couple of books handy. I basically I don't quite understand how to "dismantle" and understand complex source code, in order to grasp programming techniques and concepts. </p>
  
  <p>EDIT2: Thanks for the extremely quick comments, guys. I really appreciate it. This website is awesome.</p>
