The last point is a bit of a sore for me. I'm well versed with some other languages including perl, C, and javascript. Python seems to have "pythonic" ways of doing stuff that's at loggerheads with all other languages. Is there a single resource to learn the pythonic way of doing things? Like, say for perl, there's Larry's books, which provide a solid foundation for best practices.
