Unfortunately I don't have any good documentation sources, and most of what 
I know was learned the hard way. 

If you know ASP and have a good 'feel' for Python you have a good start. 
Just think how Python works and try applying it to ASP and things usually 
fell into place for me.

Here are a bunch of other things to look out for. I wonder... is there a 
Python in ASP faq? Maybe it's time to start one.

Session.SetValue(key, val)
Application.SetValue(key, val)
Is how you set Session and Application vars from Python.

Modules are cached and need to be explicitly reloaded. i.e. reload(module)

global.asa: You need some VBscript first, then the Python one will work.
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=VBScript RUNAT=Server>
function noOp()
end function
</SCRIPT>

<script language=Python runat=server>
def Application_OnStart():
	pass #stuff
</SCRIPT>


You can't mix HTML in code blocks.
<%if 1:%>
  <tags>
<%else:%>
  <tags>

This doesn't work for obvious reasons. Check out HTMLgen for some easy 
alternatives.

And there's a bunch more I can't think of right now, but go check through 
the c.l.py archives for ASP and lots of good info will emerge.
