Advice

Hi,

I'm new to Blender and the group. Maybe I'm trying to run before I
learn to walk because I'm familiar with regular CAD. The point I'm
trying to get to is to create models of cars based on multi view 2D
drawings. See <http://perso.orange.fr/speedtiti/tutoriels.htm> These
would then be exported to CAD programs for use. Without studying the
basics I tried to jump in and got the following message. "Compiled
with Python version 2.4. 'import site' failed; use -v for traceback.
Checking for installed Python... No installed Python. Only built-in
modules are available. Some scripts may not run. Continuing happily." 

I confess I don't know what Python or -v are. My first question is
does my program appear to be installed to correctly, to a usable
point? If the program is correct I need to start at the beginning so
can anyone recommend a good tutorial? I would be grateful for any
advice or help to get me to where I want to go. Thanks.

Stan
