I got that from the library about a year ago. I found it interesting, but not too helpful. One problem is that it explains a Python feature in terms of other python features only, and you don't really get the flavor of what the heck the feature being described actually can do for you; although I'm sure the description of the feature is technically correct. I recently happened across a cheap copy used, and bought it; it was worth the money for the used copy, but I wouldn't have bought it new. (Unfortunately, the copy is at my office, and I'm at home, so unable to provide a good concrete example.) _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
