That's silly. Python is small in the sense that C is small. The Python standard library is probably much bigger than the C standard library, but Kernghan and Richie don't cover it. K&R is a unique book. I have never seen anything comparable for any language. The closest Python equivalent is the official docs: http://docs.python.org/ I think the core Python bookshelf is: Learning Python (Lutxz & Ascher) and/or Dive Into Python (Pilgrim) for tutorial Python in a Nutshell (Martelli) AND Python Essential Reference (Beazley) for reference The latter two books are not perfect (both indexes are infuriating) but I usually find that I can find what I am looking for in one or the other. Like most people I eventually plan to read Moby Dick, War and Peace, and Lutz's Programming Python. Maybe when I retire. mt -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
