Hi John, I would suggest you: "Beginning Python: From Novice to Professional", by Magnus Lie Hetland Publisher: Apress (September 26, 2005) ISBN: 159059519X In my opinion, this is the best and the most up-to-date Python book for beginner/intermediate available. I am studying Python by myself with this book, and I am enjoying it a lot. I hope this help. Hoffmann __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
