Since you were kind enough to ask...what I'd really like is a better better index and better organization, so I can more quickly and easily locate info on a particular topic. Nutshell has some wonderful in-depth discussions of certain topics and I'm glad I own it, but I find it too hard to use for everyday questions (which was not at all what I expected for a "nutshell" book). I usually start with the html help (if I know the module I need or have a firm guess as to which other manual to read) or Python Essential Reference (other cases), then go to Nutshell if I'm still lost or if I remember it has a good section on the topic of interest. -- Russell -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
