''Python in a Nutshell '' by AlexMartelli http://images.amazon.com/images/P/0596001886.01._PE_PI_SCMZZZZZZZ_.jpg ISBN 0596001886. A good reference on PythonLanguage by AlexMartelli. I really like the first 10 chapters. The "feel" of Python is something that the author teaches by example. -- JohnSumsion ''Don't forget -- anything that can be put in a nutshell probably belongs there. '''Hmm.''''' Know of any nutshell big enough to hold 600 pages? ''There must be one -- the book title says so.'' Hilarious. The book, though, is a good example of "no fluff just stuff". ---- OreillyAndAssociates AnimalBook ---- CategoryBook CategoryPython
