[Tutor] Books

[Carroll, Barry]

Greetings, John,

For my money, that book is:

    Learning Python, 2nd Edition 
    By David Ascher, Mark Lutz 
    Publisher: O'Reilly 
    Pub Date: December 2003 
    ISBN: 0-596-00281-5 
    Pages: 620
    
    $25.19 new, 18.47 used (+ shipping)
    From amazon.com

I taught myself Python with this book, and I still use it nearly every
day.  

BTW, there are several excellent tutorials for free online, but you
asked about books :^)

Regards,
 
Barry
