Do projects at home. Either find an existing OSS project, or roll your own. Once you have the basics of the language, the skills are domain-specific: XML, GUIs, CAD, gaming, multithreading, numerical analysis, natural language progromming, etc. If you do an existing project, then you benefit from peer reviews and other informal learning opportunities. -- Harry George PLM Engineering Architecture -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
