If you are looking for a book to buy as well, you can start with O'Reilly's Learning Python (3e/2007), which covers Python 2.5, this will give you enough to function adequitly in Python2.7 o you can just skip to the 4th edition (4e) which covers Python2.6 and Python3.x. > -- > Chris Brennan > A: Yes. > >Q: Are you sure? > >>A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. > >>>Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? > http://xkcd.com/84/ | http://xkcd.com/149/ | http://xkcd.com/549/ > GPG: D5B20C0C (6741 8EE4 6C7D 11FB 8DA8 9E4A EECD 9A84 D5B2 0C0C) ------------------------------------------------------------------------
