It is interesting to note war against 'Dive into Python'. Personally I felt it
was good, a quick resource to learn without buying O'reilly books. After I
came across Alan Gauld and Mark Lutz's books, I never referred DintoP. I still
have the printed version of this book from 2002-3 I guess.

I 100% share the article author's opinion. This "book" was surely crafted with
the only intention to disgust anybody of programming. A sh

Hello,
I've got some trouble reading binary files with struct.unpack on windows.
According to the documentation of the binary file's content, at the
beginning there're some simple bytes (labeled as 'UChar: 8-bit unsigned
byte'). Within those bytes there's a sequence to check the file's sanity.

As a new learner of programming I'd recommend
Head First Programming "A learner's guide to programming, using the Python
language" by O'Reilly. It is very basic.

I've just finished skimming this one and its pretty good IMHO!
