Try reading the code in this package: http://sourceforge.net/projects/xtopdf Not very idiomatic or Pythonic code (done when I was still fairly new to Python), but clear, well-commented - IMO, of course. Also it is a real-world, though small, app, with both end-user tools and a developer API. So you can play around with using and extending it, etc. - and its easy to understand too. Might help motivate the learning if you try to build something useful with it :-) HTH Vasudev Ram ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Software training and consulting Dancing Bison Enterprises http://www.dancingbison.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
