I've taken up learning python over the summer as well. http://safari.oreilly.com/ is a website which sells IT books for on-line viewing. They charge $20 per month and you get 10 "slots" on your books shelf. You can get anybook you want, some books take 2 slots, some 1 slot, and some are even half of a slot. They have a 14 day free trial as well, its really worth giving it a whirl (free books!!). It's totally 100% over the internet (or in downloadable PDF format), its so great. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
