Python works a lot different from other languages because for example you don't work with {'s and }'s so much and the scope is determined by how much space you let in front of a line.

I can advise http://www.learnpython.org/ and http://diveintopython.org/

went through most of learn python basic tutorials sort of got the hang of it but having a problem on an exercise

Print out all even numbers from the numbers list in the same order they are received, but only up to the number "412" (not including it).
the number list is [951, 402, 984, 651, 360, 69, 408, 319, 601, 485, 980, 507, 725, 547, 544,
615, 83, 165, 141, 501, 263, 617, 865, 575, 219, 390, 984, 592, 236, 105, 942, 941,
386, 462, 47, 418, 907, 344, 236, 375, 823, 566, 597, 978, 328, 615, 953, 345,
399, 162, 758, 219, 918, 237, 412, 566, 826, 248, 866, 950, 626, 949, 687, 217,
815, 67, 104, 58, 512, 24, 892, 894, 767, 553, 81, 379, 843, 831, 445, 742, 717,
958, 609, 842, 451, 688, 753, 854, 685, 93, 857, 440, 380, 126, 721, 328, 753, 470,
743, 527

PYTHON Code

#Define the list.
list = [951, 402, 984, 651, 360, 69, 408, 319, 601, 485, 980, 507, 725, 547,
        544, 615, 83, 165, 141, 501, 263, 617, 865, 575, 219, 390, 984, 592,
        236, 105, 942, 941, 386, 462, 47, 418, 907, 344, 236, 375, 823, 566,
        597, 978, 328, 615, 953, 345, 399, 162, 758, 219, 918, 237, 412, 566,
        826, 248, 866, 950, 626, 949, 687, 217, 815, 67, 104, 58, 512, 24,
        892, 894, 767, 553, 81, 379, 843, 831, 445, 742, 717, 958, 609, 842,
        451, 688, 753, 854, 685, 93, 857, 440, 380, 126, 721, 328, 753, 470,
        743, 527]
#Define a list for all the even numbers.
newlist = []
 
#Start a loop.
for i in list:
    #Break if we reach 412.
    #If we put this after the "even check" 412 would get included.
    if i == 412:
        break
    #If the number is even...
    if i%2==0:
        #Then append the list.
        newlist.append(i)
 
#Print the list of even numbers
print newlist

I'm guessing you have already solved this but I was bored
