Hi Folks,
I'm brand spanking new to Python, busy reading docs and going through two
of the ubiquitous O'Reilly books--"Learning Python" by Lutz/Ascher and
"Python Programming on Win32" by Hammond/Robinson.
Still I have a just few newbie questions:
- In the Windows Python version, how can it be configured
to save all keyboard input for later review and revision?
And how do I get to it?
Either PythonWin or the basic Python interactive shell can do most of the
work here. Best to play with the various library functions.
- What book or doc would you recommend for a thorough
thrashing of object oriented programming (from a Python
perspective) for someone who is weak in OO? In other
words, how can someone learn to think in an OO sense,
rather than the old linear code sense? Hopefully, heavy
on problems and solutions!
No suggestion here. I like Alex Martelli's Python in a Nutshell but it's
getting a bit long in the tooth now.

approach--again heavy on problems and solutions! What's
the closest Python equivalent?
Thanks.

If OOP is the problem, you could try this:
Object Oriented Analysys
Peter Coad, Edward Yourdon
Prentice Hall
Old by quite informative
As an alternative, have a look at the following ones.
Thinking in Python:
http://www.mindview.net/Books/TIPython
Dive into Python:
http://diveintopython.org/
How to Think Like a Computer Scientist:

Maybe this:
Python Cookbook
Alex Martelli, David Ascher
O'Reilly
