Python in a Nutshell, the Python Cookbook and Programming Python are all very good, IMO. Programming Python comes with a CD of all the source code in the book (at least the 2nd edition did, as well as Python language - this can save you some time keying in the examples. Of course, many of the O'Reilly books (and all 3 of these are from O'Reilly) have links to downloadable source code from them. Just Google for the name of the book, then in the results, hit the appropriate link to the O'Reilly site for the book, and look down the page for the link to the examples' source. Or (for Programming Python): http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/python2/ http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/python3/ Vasudev ============================================================ "1 person in 100 understand binary.
