malcolm, thanks for the kudos... really appreciate it. however, the reason why i didn't bring it up is because the target audience of my book is (generally) a technical person who already has some programming experience and wants/needs to learn Python as quickly and as comprehensively as possible. i don't really recommend my book for those who are completely new to programming as i think there are others who do a better job, hence all the recommendations in my previous message. (ironically, i've developed an entire training course for people who are absolute beginners to programming [with Python being the implementation language], but can't figure out the best and most effective way to advertise/market the course... maybe one day!) once michael comes up to speed, however, he's welcome to read "Core Python Programming" to fill in any gaps in his Python skills. :-) in closing, let me take one more cat out of the bag... i've been helping 2 fine gentlemen in developing a book on Django... yes, that Python web framework. we are wrapping it up, and it should be on the store shelves this fall. more info at the book's website at http://withdjango.com/ ... it is complementary to the reference book out there but is geared towards developing Django *applications*. look for it soon! best wishes, -- wesley - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "Core Python Programming", Prentice Hall, (c)2007,2001 http://corepython.com wesley.j.chun :: wescpy-at-gmail.com python training and technical consulting cyberweb.consulting : silicon valley, ca http://cyberwebconsulting.com _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
