You, as well as the OP, left out the Language Reference, which is the manual (by me definition) for the language itself. Chapter 2 of the Lib Reference on builtin types and functions is essential also and should be read in its entirety. The rest, to me, is 'need to know' reading, especially since the addition of string methods. > Consider non-official manuals such as: > + http://diveintopython.org/toc/index.html (free) > + python in a nutshell > + python cookbook > + etc. Yes, these and others (the etc) are helpful too, and should not be discounted just because they are maintained independently of the core developer group.
