Hello there!

The customary first step in learning any new coding language is to have it output the phrase “Hello world!” (I’ve seen a lot of variation in the punctuation.) In Python, that is as simple as 

print("Hello world!")

Being someone who has long read, and watched, science fiction, I prefer Obi Wan Kenobi’s “Hello there,” the character’s first words in the film. He walks to where Luke Skywalker lies having been struck down by one of the sand people, squats, throws back his hood when R2D2 makes a noise, looks up and says “Hello there.”
