Not directly responding to the petition for chat opportunities, but to making the leap. What has helped me (started with python at the end of november) was to find problems and apply python to them. From a simple password generator,to massage text files and databases. Just last week my colleagues asked me to give them some more info on python as one after another problem gets solved. If you don't have an immediate problem make one. One final idea would be to google "python challenge". One problem after another to complete a sort of scavenger hunt. Mark
