Greetings, The Python Books I have are the ones that are freely available for download from the Internet. Here is the list: Learning to Program (by Alan Gauld - a Tutor on this list.) http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld/index.htm This book is also available for purchase in dead-tree form. How To Think Like a Computer Scientist: Learning with Python http://ibiblio.org/obp/thinkCS/python/english2e/html/index.html Dive Into Python http://www.diveintopython.org/ A Byte of Python http://swaroopch.info/text/Byte_of_Python:Main_Page Python Documentation http://docs.python.org/index.html Thinking in Python http://mindview.net/Books/TIPython Text Processing in Python http://gnosis.cx/TPiP/ Your best bet may be the "Learning to Program" book by Alan Gauld. Also there are a ton of tutorials on the Internet, many of which will get you up to speed with the basic stuff in a hurry. Your best bet is to find a book that has a writing style that "clicks" with you, and work through it, sitting in front of your computer, with Python installed and working. It is important to read and DO if you want to learn how to program a computer. Happy Programming! -- bhaaluu at gmail dot com _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
