Once you are ready to take the plunge another good document is the
Python tutorial written by Guido Von Rossum himself
(http://docs.python.org/tut/). It's not a full fledged 300 page
manifesto but it's covers the basic of the language.

I recommend "The Quick Python Book" by Harms and McDonald. Its
strength is its brevity and *readability* -- you can actually just sit
down and read it and enjoy it. It doesn't cover the newest features of
Python or the most advanced, but that is not necessary in a beginner's
book.

Learning Python, Perl, or Ruby would help you create admin scripts that
would save you lots of manual work. For me automated log file alerting,
SQL query parsing, SQL table updates, Internet file
uploading/downloading, etc. has been a huge plus. Perl is likely the
most widely used in terms of exist

I guess it's better to wait for the for dummies book.
I should focus instead in taking the LPIC-2 exams in September.

I thank everybody for your replies.
I think I'll get Hertland's book since it's newer than O'reillys.
I don't want to become a programmer. Neither Python is part of my studies.
I've finished with my studies. I want to become a Unix/Linux admin and
knowledge of either Python or Perl is an asset.

I read almost every published book about Python and I found Magnus'
"Beginning Python" the best book to start with. As Alex said it is
particularly appreciated by those who like learning by examples and by "try
and error": it is actually the opposite to what Alex believed as "Beginning
Python" is m

There have been lots of recommendations for the O'Reilly book, which is
a good one. However, I would recommend "Beginning Python" by Magnus Lie
Hetland. All I knew before starting Python was Mathematica, and this
book was very helpful. It may seem to start out slow, but I've found
that I'm going ba

Why not print out the on-line tutorial and read the hardcopy?

If you are sure you want a book and not online tutorials, then it's
important that you have many code examples which include both the
statements and the results. You may like Chris Fehily's Python Visual

Try "Learning Python" which is part of the O'Reilly series of books
they publish on computer programming. It's a good start. Most public
library systems have copies you can check out, and most larger
bookstores have it. Otherwise there's always Amazon.Com. Welcome to
Python and enjoy!

I plan to buy a book. I always find printed material more convenient than
reading on-line tutorials.
I don't know PERL or any other scripting language. I only know some BASH
programming. I am looking for a book which will help me get started and
should contain the foundation
