Consider first reading the tutorial. If you prefer to read from paper there is a PDF version <http://www.python.org/doc/2.4.2/download.html>. There is also the "Python in a Nutshell" book which only covers Python 2.2 but has a very concise language intro, and will become an invaluable reference. I wish I had started with this book; then I wouldn't have needed to buy some of the others. -- _ _ ___ |V|icah |- lliott http://micah.elliott.name [EMAIL PROTECTED] " " """ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
