Hello Steven, to "learn python" I've bought a book, and it's not a "thin" one :-) it's more a 788p. long documentation about python.
BUT!!!!! I have to say: The autor started using the "self." argument at the chapter classes. So You've shown me the book descr. non "correct" way. Better using this book heating my home?! :-) Patrick -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
