Python Tutorial

[bidemiadejumo]

Does anybody know where i can find a comprehensive python interactive tutorial?

Have you tried Code Academy?  I found them pretty useful while I was learning python alongside the class I was taking.

"Comprehensive" is somewhat subjective, since I doubt almost any python user uses all of python functionality, and the amount of modules that can be added in is quite high.  Their tutorials will get you a good basic understanding of python syntax, methods, strcuture, etc.

I like http://learnpythonthehardway.org (and it's not as hard as the title suggests)

The following blog may be a good start:

Seven easy ways to start learning Python and ArcPy

Seven easy ways to start learning Python and ArcPy | Support Services Blog‌

This offers several different options for you to learn Python so if you learn better one way or another, those options are available to you.

for some reason clicking on that link only goes to the Support Centre's home page.

I had to copy / paste this "http://blogs.esri.com/esri/supportcenter/2014/03/26/8-easy-ways-learning-python-arcpy/" into the browser for it to get to the correct site.

I know you requested an interactive tutorial but I would highly recommend the book Python - Scripting for ArcGIS which is published by ESRI. It starts with the basics and then leads into using Python and ArcPy so very desktop focused. I find I regularly check this book, especially when I need to fiddle around with geometries as I can never remember the syntax!

You may want to examine code samples posted by Esri ie
