Dive into python is a very good one. It is free too. http://diveintopython.org/ Try it out. If you want more of examples of how everything is done, then Python Cookbook is another one. You can get many recipes at http://code.activestate.com/recipes/langs/python/ too - the book is just selected recipes from this site. Regards K -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
