I get what the difference is between a tuple and a list, but why would I 
ever care about the tuple's immuutability?
Also, do you say 'too-ple' or 'chu-ple' - if you get my drift. (tomato or 
tomato kind of thing)

I use the Festival Speech Synthesis System to learn pronunciations 
sometimes. The American english voice is quite accurate.

I'm new to Python and am looking for a book to get me up to speed
quickly. I'm an experienced programmer and very proficient with Ruby,
so Python is coming easily to me and I don't need a gentle
introduction -- I just need a quick way to get familiar with common
Python idioms and important libraries.

I'm also looking for a "gentler" book to help introduce some of my
co-workers to python. They are also experienced programmers, but
mostly in C++, with some Java/C# but minimal exposure to scripting
languages.
Any suggestions?
