Read other people's Python code especially that from the standard library. Extend the functionality of those projects to fit your needs. As someone else mentioned, get a copy of the 2nd edition of the Python Cookbook. It's full of gold. > + The more advanced parts/uses of Python It depends on your viewpoint what is advanced. Metaclasses are probably the most notorious examples of "advanced Python." You can also find plenty of "advanced Python" in the guts of the numerous framework-type packages (Zope, Twisted, PEAK and the like). > + Discussions about the ideas behind different Python > constructs The best place to search is probably Google Groups for c.l.py and GMane for gmane.comp.python.devel for the python-dev list. If you have a more specific question in mind, you can also ask here. > + What's going to happen with v3 Python 3.0 (also sometimes referred to as Python 3000) is when Guido is going to allow backwards-incompatible changes. Some duplicated functionality, warts, and redundancies will be cleaned up. Old-style classes will disappear, etc. There are no concrete plans at this time; Python 3.0 is still a long ways off. In short, talk of Python 3.0 shouldn't worry you until Guido writes a post entitled "Some rich fool is paying me to work fulltime on Python 3.0 for a year.
