I've been using Perl for a decade and had a hard start into Python. Mainly because I used those phrasebooks and tried to convert my Perl syntax statement-by-statement. However Python doesn't just have another syntax but also other concepts. It's worth working yourself through the diveintopython tutorial. Or if you want to spend money I strongly recommend the book Beginning Python: From Novice to Professional (ISBN 159059519X) because you learn a lot about daily problems and gotchas, too. Besides from the I'm cool because I'm the only one who can read my code factor that Perl delivers Python has everything you need. :) Kindly Christoph -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Hi,

programmers to Python?
My fellow coworker - experimented Perl coder - confirms that the
official tutorial and diveintopython should be enough to get you
started. Also, the Python Cookbook and reading this group may help you
grasp pythonic idioms.

Nah, that's easy -- you port it to Python (that's what I did back in the day, and I've heard at least three others relate similar choices). Or, in my case, throwing away the Perl I had because I found I had written something much more useful in Python. A little bit of experience on a smallish (or largish!) from-scratch Python project does of course make a difference: Perl and Python are sufficiently close in many things that it's easy to get tunnel vision when porting Perl to Python. A little knowledge of Python idioms, techniques, standard library modules, etc., gained outside of that narrow context, goes a long way to prevent that. OTOH, the often-mechanical nature of porting .pl-.py, and the great flexibility of both languages, does certainly make it easier to switch. John -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Don't use the Martin Brown book, whatever you do. The Perl/Python Phrasebook isn't bad, but it's ten years out of date.
