This is an important question: To start off you need to digest whats the diff between value oriented and object oriented. Since this is more to do with paradigm than with a specific language you may read for example: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/The_Monad.Reader/Issue3/Functional_Programming_vs_Object_Oriented_Programming In the python data structure world: value | object tuple | list XX | dictionary frozen-set | set > > I am currently using "Learning Python" by Mark Lutz and David Ascher, > published by O'Reilly (ISBN 1-56592-464-9)--but I find the explanations > insufficient and the number of examples to be sparse.
