Hi, I'm going through the tutorials available on Python.org but can anyone recommend a good book? I've always been impressed by O'Reilly's books and I see that there are a number of them available: - Python Programming on Win32 - Learning Python - Programming Python Which one of the above (or indeed, any others) would be best for me? Me? I've got some C experience and will be using Python with Zope to create a portal, & some simple apps. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. - Best regards, Lee
Python Essential Reference by David M. Beazley (New Riders) The name says it all really ;-) cheers, Chris
I read Learning Python and still love it and would highly recommend it. The book is very good! Apart from that I'm using the Python Essential Reference more often nowadays. It's handier than a printout of the lib.pdf but actually you don't really need if if you are comfy with the pdf stuff. What I'm still missing is something like the perl cookbook but for Python :( Ragnar

:( I don't know the perl cookbook, but the eff-bot guide to the Python library has some 300 scripts in it. You can get it from fatbrain.com. It is in pdf version only (or at least a print-it-yourself-with-some-fancy-epublishing-wrapping-by-fatbrain-version) URL: http://www1.fatbrain.com/asp/bookinfo/bookinfo.asp?theisbn=EB00019352&vm= hth Rik
Learning Python is good and has good "english". But Python The Quick Book (ugly cover) has brilliant english writing, and is probably more pedagogic than others.
