Once you've got the basics (which it seems like you do have now), I'd find a problem you have and use Python to solve it. E.g.: Problem: I'm bored Solution: write yourself a game in pygame P: I want to create a website to do X S: Use django/flask to do such P: I want to answer some questions about this set of data S: write some Python code to parse the data & produce answers P: I'm poor S: use Python to solve problems for other people and have them pay you You can keep reading books, but if you don't have something to actually create from using this knowledge, it's a somewhat worthless academic exercise. -tkc -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

If you're already a seasoned developer, nothing beats the official Python docs (http://python.org/doc/). I find most books to be filled with unnecessary narratives. The Python documentation is relatively terse and very well organized. As such, it'll get you off to the races in no time.

Since you already understand how to program, the Python essential reference quickly guides you through Python language and the standard library.

It's getting old now but for me it really catches the spirit of Python programming; clean, readable, and idiomatic. Plus it's fairly concise itself and emphasises the standard libraries. If you get stuck, obviously just search, but there is a lot of good info on Stack Overflow particularly. James -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
