[Zope] Python Books - your opinions please.

[Jason Spisak]

J. Michael Mc Kay:

I have bought the O'Reilly books "Learning Python" and "Programming Python"
I have finished "Learning Python" and already feel much more akin to the
Zen of Zope.  Let me say that I too am not a programmer.  Not formal
programming experience/training other than my current project.  Python is
terrifc for types like us.  I am a little more than 1/4 through the second
book.  Very clear stuff.

Hope that helps,

All my best,
