you can try Programming Python 3rd Edition from O'Reilly or, at least, the code for the book, which you can get from the author's site: http://www.rmi.net/~lutz/ Note: it contains code for Python 2.4, but I never encountered any of the code to not work when I tried it. There is one directory that contains out-of-date code, which you should find easily when reading the text files. I'm sorry that I can only help by referring you to Python 2.4 code. But it is useful -- PyMailGUI and PyMailCGI are great examples, just be careful not to be fed up with the large, high-level examples. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
