My "first" program

[aracongi]

This is the first, well third (but the only one that's is usefull?), program.
I am new to programming so I figured I would post this and see if I can get some usefull feedback on how I am to do things better.
Currently I am reading a book called "Starting Out With Python" - Tony Gaddis
Does anyone know of a book that is a little more up to date with the current
version of python?

(just ignore the html tags, (how do I put the code in a box?)

Here it is!
<code>
#This program calculates salary based on pay.

#Import decimal class so rounding may be done at the end.
import decimal

print ("Pay Calculator\n")


pay_rate = float(input ("Dollars per hour? --"))
overtime_mark = float(input ("Hours to reach overtime ? --"))
hours = float(input ("Hours this paycheck? --"))
debit = float(input ("Debit? --"))
#pay_rate = 0.
#overtime_mark = 0.
overtime_hours = 0.

#Check if overtime or not
if hours > overtime_mark:
overtime_hours = hours - overtime_mark

#Calculate pay
overtime_pay = overtime_hours * pay_rate / 2
sub1 = pay_rate * hours
sub2 = sub1 + overtime_pay
total = sub2 - debit

##DEBUG CODE##
##Displays input data
#print("\novertime_pay" , overtime_pay)
#print("pay_rate" , pay_rate)
#print("overtime_mark" , overtime_mark)
#print("overtime_hours" , overtime_hours)
#print("hours" , hours , "\n")
##End input data display area

overtime_hours_disp = overtime_hours

#Check if overtime is more than one hour for "s" in "hours"
if overtime_hours > 1.:
hour_s = "hours"
elif overtime_hours == 0:
hour_s = ""
overtime_hours_disp = "no"
else: hour_s = "hour"

#print out the results
print ("\nYour subtotal is:\n$" + str(sub1) , "\nYou have" , str(overtime_hours_disp)
, hour_s , "overtime for a bonus of:\n+$" + str(overtime_pay)
, "\nYour Debit is:\n-$" + str(debit)
, "\n\n---------------------------------------------"
,"\nYou should get a total of:\n$" , str(total) )
input ("\n\nPress <ENTER> to quit")

Post your code in [code][/code] bbcode tags.

Unfortunately, because indentation is significant in Python, I would rather not review your code until you have posted it in those bbcode tags for the indentation to be retained.

This should help. I hope you find something you like.

I had trouble with Visual Basic and I bought a book and it helped me a bunch thanks to amazon

from twisted.web import server, resource
from twisted.internet import reactor
class HelloResource(resource.Resource):
    numberRequests=0
    def render_GET(self,request):
        self.numberRequests+=1
        request.setHeader("content-type","text/plain")
        return "Hello, you have called me "+str(self.numberRequests)+" times\n"
reactor.listenTCP(56565,server.Site(HelloResource()))
reactor.run() 

My first program, mind you that it runs only on python 2.7 or lower, since at present there is no twisted library included in later versions
