Having a book is good when you're beginning, but with python (like most
open-source projects), the electronic documents are usually more
detailed and up to date.
I have the O'Reilly "Programming Python" book, and while the stuff on
classes is good, she don' mention things like list comprehensions, new
class types, iterators or generators (or as someone has pointed out,
string methods).
Similar situation with blender. Bought the "Blender 2.3 Guide", nearly
outdated now, and that's barely two years later.
