As one relatively new Python fan to another, I recommend following this newsgroup. Many important aspects of Python that several books failed to drive through my skull are very clearly (and repeatedly) explained here. Hang around for a week, paying attention to posts with subjects like "Error in Python subscripts" (made-up example), and curse me if you don't find it greatly rewarding. -- To email me, substitute nowhere->spamcop, invalid->net. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
