There is no real mention of python in this book, but the first edition is probably the best programming book I've ever read (excepting, perhaps Text Processing in Python by Mertz.) Well, come to think of it, check the latter book out. It has a great chapter on Python Regex. And its free to download. James -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
