If you're willing to wait 1.5 months, _Python for Dummies_ will be the first book that really covers Python 2.5. (Alex's _Python in a Nutshell_ does cover some of Python 2.5, but there were a fair number of late changes that came after he needed to turn it in, most notably the inclusion of sqlite3. It's also not a beginner book.) -- Aahz ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "I saw `cout' being shifted "Hello world" times to the left and stopped right there." --Steve Gonedes -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
