[melbourne-pug] Introduction

[Wesley Moore]

Hi all,
I'm new to the list and Python. I'm interested in getting up to speed
with the Python way of doing things. I wrote Perl for four and half
years and have moved onto Ruby (not Rails) in the last six months. I
have a web app I'd like to write and have very briefly tinkered with
Django in the past (and liked it). This coupled with free Google App
Engine hosting makes the combination my prime candidate so far. So I'm
wondering what 'the' Python book to have is, if any? And is there is
still a Melbourne-PUG meetup, it seems not given the last update on
the site[1] was in 2006?

Thanks in advance,
Wes
