IMHO there's no one solution. What works for a person depends on how that person learns. Options: books, online free course lecture videos, class instruction, preexisting code, supplied documentation, online tutorials etc. I find it useful to have at least two sources, e.g. two books, as each author brings a slightly different approach and often make different assumptions (and make different mistakes). Comparing two or more makes it easier to see through the differences. But make sure each is reputable in its own right. For example, I used: Learning Python, and Python in a Nutshell (and WxPython in action for the GUI stuff). I'd recommend at least the Nutshell book as a reference. If books work for you check Amazon or similar for feedback of others. James -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
