If you just want a good book in feature description I recomend Python in a Nutshell. It will explain everything you ever did (or didn't) want to know without much fuzz. It will not have a long list of when you should use them. For the later the Python Cookbook is probably more appropiate. It is the book with the most amount and kind of advanced stuff IMHO. The printed version is much better than the online because it not only contains the examples but explains how they work. The problem is that the cookbook is organized by problem domain and not by implementation technique. To learn techniques you have to read it like the Bible: you read the stories and try to deduce what it tells you about Python. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
