If what you miss mostly is a quick way to look up language features, modules and APIs, the python quick reference is an excellent starting point, especially for someone new to the language: http://rgruet.free.fr/PQR24/PQR2.4.html (also linked from http://www.python.org/doc/ along with other doc sources). It's available in pdf as well. George -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
