starting to learn python

[Lyle Johnson]

Aahz has already pointed you to the free on-line tutorial that is part of
the standard Python documentation. If you're willing to spend some more
money on a old-fashioned book (i.e. the kind that comes printed on paper) I
can highly recommend "Learning Python" by Mark Lutz & David Ascher. It's
from O'Reilly and I think it cost around $29.95.

"Programming Python" is pretty hard-core stuff, but a good book to have in
your library for later. I think a long-overdue update is on the way (current
edition was circa Python 1.3 or 1.4) but I don't know the latest ETA on
that.
