Thanks to all who helped me make this descision. Not that it was life threatening or anything. :) It really instills some confidence to have some other people who have been there help out. I ordered through bookpool.com Jeff is right, 44-45% off all Orielly books in stock. So I even managed to save some dollars and ordered "Learning Python" and "Essential Reference." I figured I would get going with these then look at Annotated Reference and in July see what WROX publishing is offering in their new release for Python. Thanks Again.... hisnibs J.

Another good book with a lot of code examples is "Python Annotated Archives" by Brown published by Osborne/McGraw Hill. In addition, I would recommend http://www.bookpool.com they have really LOW prices and a great selection of technical books.

I've been searching through Amazon for books to help me with learning Python. Apparently there are mostly split descisions on the thoroughness and quality of the majority of these books. So I figured I'd bring it to the table here: What are or did you use or recommend that I use to successfully get a staert learning Python Programming. I am not a programmer. The best I can do is read perl and win cgi's, fix some broken code here and there and bat 100% at strangling apps until they run. But that's it. This is a serious question for me. Until I ran into ZOPE I've been feeling obligated to learn VB, ASP, ADO. I've recently purchased several of the WROX books on those subjects and one is coming out on Python in July. I would like to for go messing with the MS stuff for now. Where's the best place to get serious in the mean time? (Something I can hold in my hands aside from a mouse.)
Thank you,
