Hi all:

I'm a newbie having a lot of fun and frustration with Python as I write my
first Python app to help with a WinNT admin task.  I have a number of other
apps relating to WinNT admin that I plan to write.

To help get me up to speed, I've gone thru parts of a couple of the on-line
tutorials and I've purchased the "Learning Python" and "Python 2.1 Bible".

Most of what I need to do is text based.  While I've made pretty good
progress thru trial & error and looking thru the learning materials, I
found that most of the examples of string and list are pretty limited and
pretty similar in most of the materials, and sometimes the examples are
exactly the same in the materials.

Can anyone recommend a book that has extensive examples of the use of
string and lists ?  (Actually, the Python 2.1 Bible is pretty comprehensive
in showing the various string methods and functions, but they don't have
enough code examples for a newbie like me.)

Anyway, any book recommendation will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

-Stuart
