Beginning with Python

[torreydale]

You don't need to download Python, by the way.  It is already installed with Linux Lite and most Unix based operating systems by default, including Mac.  All you have to do in Linux Lite is open a terminal and type in the word "python," and you'll be in the Python interpreter.  To run a python program, you type in python and the filename, eg. python test.py.  You have to be sure you either include the full directory path of the file or that you're running the command from the directory where that file resides.
