I read Programming Python as an experienced programmer and like you I enjoyed the encyclopedic nature of it. So if it appeals to you I'd say go for it! The fact that it doesn't use the latest version of python isn't a problem - python doesn't change very quickly and emphasises backwards compatibility, even for the jump to 3.x.
Cool .. glad to hear that .. esp since all my other Python books are even a bit more outdated :-) .. the only thing that I notice missing is coverage of the subprocess module which I will be using a fair bit I think. I had a 40% off coupon for our local Borders, so I couldn't pass that up to get myself a copy of this book. No regrets. Cheers, Esmail -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
