Not sure if this one has been mentioned already: effbot.org. An absolute must!

Google Python Class http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKTZoB2Vjuk and the web
page of the lecturer Nick Parlante ,
there are a few Python resources at his web page I think you will find them
useful

While deja-news wasn't exactly a Python resource I share your
regret that it disappeared. While you can, just about, find
the same information via Google Groups it is nowhere near
as effective as the old Deja-News was.

But I'm really looking for something a wee bit more Python
specific, otherwise I'll have to list every search engine! :-)

Hi Emile,

I do not know what you are referring to.  Can you be more specific?
Are you referring to comp.lang.python, or a different newsgroup, or
something else entirely?  Are you talking about a particular mailing
list?


See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Groups for one version of the 
details, but the initial demise of deja.com took away what was then the 
best research tool around (IMHO) until google revived it (yay!), until 
google rewrote it (boo! hiss!).


Knowing-as-much-as-I-need-to-already-ly y'rs,

Emile

[Tutor] What are your favourite unofficial resources

[Alan Gauld]

I'm looking for tips for an appendix to a book that
I'm working on.

What are the best unofficial (ie not python.org)
resources for people who have learned the basics
but are not experts yet? ie Typical tutor list
"graduates"...

I'm thinking about web sites, blogs, books, videos etc.
Anything that might be worth knowing about.

I've got a few of my own - Activestate, O'Reilly,
ByteOfPython, PythonChallenge, ShowMeDo etc.

But I thought the tutor list readers might be an
interesting source of alternatives that I hadn't
thought of, or even heard of.
