I love python. The only other language that comes close to comparing is ruby. Python is better, but it could stand to lose the ':' and be more like ruby in that way. The best OOP tutorial I've seen is Sun's Java tutorial. That will help you get the concepts. http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/TOC.html Note the very brief overview at the top, then some stuff you already know, then more in depth material on OOP down below. I can also recommend 'Python in a Nutshell' by O'Reilly AJ ONeal
