I have found the hard way (of going through the documentation) to be quite
effective.
First, I read the tutorial, then skimmed the language reference, then I jumped
into the library reference with the
occasional return to the language reference when I needed to convince myself
that python's syntax did not allow for whatever construct I had my heart set
on.
It's a bit slow initially but the language is simple enough that the pace picks
up
pretty quickly.

Okay guys,
I haven't gotten a definite answer on this when I asked a couple of years
back, so I'l ask again - flog me as you may :)
I have a need to properly learn a certain other P language, and I do not
mean PHP either. For Perl, my favorite concise summary is the first
chapter of Damian's OO Perl book. What about the other, unnamed, language?
Guido has written up a short language on the book, but what else has proven
popular with people who already knew Perl to expand their range of dynamic
languages - without reading hundred of pages?
Thanks -Federico
PS: I promise to flog myself if you guys actually come up with a good
suggestion!
