You should consider picking up a copy of Python Cookbook. Alex and others have reviewed the code it contains and IMHO it is well written. I've also learned quite a lot from: Python on Win32 (book by Mark Hammond/Andy Robinson) Reading source code to standard library Reading ReportLab source (www.reportlab.org) Reading PIL source (www.effbot.org) Reading wxPython source (www.wxpython.org) Monitoring this list on a daily basis -Larry -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
