P.S. You'll get further faster with Python than with Java or Perl, where you posted similar "how do I master language X?" requests. I've used Java and suffered through Perl. Compared to Perl, Python a) has less magic symbology/punctuation, and b) treats you more like an adult ("open x or die"? Come on!). Java syntax is so bloated you have to tack on Eclipse plug-ins by the fistful to auto-generate the wrapper junk code around the code you really wanted to get run. Get thee to www.python.org, and get going, post haste! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
