I must recommend you "Learning Python" from O'reilly that is an excellent book but not free...This is the only one I've read about python. For byteofpython I haven't read it but if it covers python 2.3 sure it is sufficient to learn python as 2.4 has just introduced some new advanced features. Also take a look at: http://www.awaretek.com/tutorials.html Good examples that will help you in your learning. Dive into python must be read _after_ you've read and tryied a little python :) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
