Steve Holden's "Python Web Programming" sounds *exactly* right for you - it
covers web programming (both client & server side) *and* database
programming in some depth.

Yes. <wink>

Mark Lutz's "Programming Python" covers the same ground as Lessa's book (GUI
programming, System programming, text processing etc.), and in more detail.
You don't need both, and I recommend the Lutz book.

It *also* covers web programming, but not to the same depth as Holden's book
does.

Oh yes, BTW, you might want David Beazley's "Python Essential Reference" on
your list, too.
