2) Generally how would you search, to find out if there exist an efficient
python package for some specific task? (Google search usually results in
many hardly-related *false* positives!)
Start with PyPI, also known as the CheeseShop.
http://pypi.python.org/pypi
It's not quite as powerful as Perl's CPAN, but it's still pretty good.
Then follow up with Google and other search engines. I prefer Duck Duck Go
because they don't track you and they take privacy seriously:
http://duckduckgo.com/
Also they have dedicated syntax for searching for Python related information.
Finally, ask on Python forums, particularly the comp.lang.python newsgroup
(also available as python-l...@python.org) which is more general than this
email list. This list is more specialised for learning Python the language.
