Well, in that case I'd put forward effbot's guide to the python standard library, particularly for python 2.x, but most of the examples are still valid. I paid for it back in the day, but now it's available on-line at http://effbot.org/librarybook/ Emile please excuse duplicates if they show up - I'm not sure I originally sent this from a valid account for the mailing list gateway ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
