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.

Michael Mc Kay Sent: Monday, May 08, 2000 4:50 PM To: zope@zope.org Subject: [Zope] Python Books - your opinions please. 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.)
