Hi:

I have Beazley: "Python Essential Reference". which I picked up at a used 
bookstore. I found it excellent - particularly if you use internet 
websites 
such as python.org, "thinking like a computer scientist".. etc to 
suppliment it. I also got Fredrik Lundh's Python Standard Library to see 
what the libraries have to offer (haven't used it that much).

However I find I have gaps in my knowledge - and was looking for a third 
book to get along with the python cookbook (available 
July 15, 2002). 

What other book would you recommend ? - I looked at the Programming Python 
(2nd Edition) by Mark Lutz and Core Python Programming.

I find the layout of "Core" not that good. What about Quick Python? It 
seems to get good reviews....

> More OOP with Python
> More advanced error handling
> Algorithms/Threads etc...
> sockets 

The Ruby Way (a ruby book) looks excellent - but it is _not_ python...

Thanks,

Anthony
