Unless you plan to develop non-commercial programs only, I think QT would be a wrong choice - for monetary and not technical reasons. Technically QT is brilliant and quite complete. Monetarily QT will kill you with its per developer/per platform licensing(i believe Rs. 70,000+). So if you are planning to take it up as a career option, think of employers who can afford that kind of development cost to create legal software. Instead, you can try pygtk(not as beautiful but quite adequate). I am quite excited about wxpython right now(even though I haven't yet started working a lot on python). wxpython(http://wxpython.org) is based on the cross platform wxwindows C++ GUI toolkit with native look on all supported platforms. The only problem with wxpython is that it is not available on many distributions right now(i think) and it is a hefty download. Python for web is almost same as using Perl/PHP for CGI/server-side scripting. However, python i think still doesn't have much templating libraries available to help create CGIs effectively. Instead, try to work on Zope(http://zope.org) which allows you to create web applications with a good (albeit with a steep learning curve) architecture, and allows you to create applications using pure python and some nifty template coding. I used Wesley Chun's Core Python Programming to start off on Python. But Supreet is right - the python documentation is excellent and comes in high quality printable PDFs which are a real good start. The python tutorial which is included is excellent. - Sandip -- Sandip Bhattacharya http://www.sandipb.net sandip at puroga.com Puroga Technologies Pvt.
