Thanks J for your reply, much appreciated :) Oops, vague OP, my bad. Agreed, Google turns up myriad of topical books, and ESR's guide to smart questions [1] helps set the pace of list culture. I subscribe to various list servers, on one of them we gracefully accept that a question like my OP is looking for opinion on a matter, which I now understand would be a list's sub-culture? Anyways, to rephrase, could someone kindly mention any of their preferred Python books, websites, tutorials etc to help me get to an intermediate/advanced level? Something that would help me add functionality to Ubiquity, say. Have a great day! Stu@ [1] http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
