How long is a piece of rope? Seriously, there is no way for anyone to predict how long it will take you to learn something. In this case, that something (Python) is a moving target -- there are a few things I use daily that weren't even part of the language when I started. I do believe that it takes about three years to get reasonably competent at anything. And about ten years to get really good at it. And probably another ten years to be a master (I'm only guessing though -- because I haven't been doing anything for twenty years yet). Of course, by my metrics I guess even Guido wouldn't be a master at Python so perhaps I'm full of crap :-) Hope this helps, Michael --- "I use tuples simply because of their mellifluous appellation." -- Neil Cerutti -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
