The "What's New" documents that come with each version of Python do a good job of introducing new features, with reference to the relevant PEP for all the details. For example decorators: http://docs.python.org/whatsnew/node6.html I found the printed Python Cookbook to be a good way to learn about idiomatic usage. It also has some recipes using advanced features and the explanations are helpful. Kent -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
