Hi,
As well as the excellent resources others have mentioned, I'd
definately recommend investigating the Python source distribution, if
you haven't already. The joy of working with an Open Source language
is that there's no problem if you want to look at some decent code:

The Lib and Demo directories provide examples from the simple to the
not-so-simple in a variety of application domains.

The Objects and Include directories provide good examples of using the
Python-C API. Seeing how the objects are created under the hood has
increased my understanding of how Python works, and the quality of my
C extensions.

I'd also say the online Cookbook has a reasonable search facility, and
lists of recipies from different areas, so it is relatively easy to
find a particular code snippet.

HTH,
Paul
