In Canada, the University of Toronto is planning to switch all
first-year Comp-Sci courses to Python this September. Last I heard the
University of Waterloo allowed Python submissions for most assignments
in most courses. But those are "learn hard-core computer science using
Python" solutions, not "learn hard-core Python" solutions.
If you really want to learn hard-core Python, probably your best bet is:
* read everything Tim Peters has ever written in comp.lang.python
(this will take a few months), start with "import this"
* read everything the PyPy guys have ever written (particularly
Christian and Armin)
* read and try to beat the more exotic recipes in the Python cookbook
* read the papers from the various PyCons on metaclasses and the
like, build a couple of dozen metaclasses and descriptors
But jumping into "hardcore" first might not be the best approach. Many
would suggest just learning "normal" Python first, *then* moving onto
the hardcore stuff.
HTH,
Mike
