If so then start with Python 2. If not, start with 3 - the differences are small enough that you can relatively easily fall back to 2 if you need to get access to non-ported libraries. regards Steve > On Wed, Mar 10, 2010 at 7:19 AM, kj <no.email(a)please.post> wrote: > > > > > Subject line pretty much says it all: is there a book like "Effective > Java" for Python.

I would have liked to have such a book for Python when I was past the language learning stage. Gabriel

High Performance Python by Anthony Lewis (Author), et al. (*snigger*!) might be such a book but we have to wait a few more months: Publisher: O'Reilly Media; 1 edition (September 15, 2010) (It has been on my wish list for several months) To the OP: right now, Dive into Python is clearly written with people who have experience with programming in mind. I've both the Python 2 and Python 3 version (books). You can download a version of each for free: http://www.google.com/search?q=dive%20into%20python -- John Bokma j3b Hacking & Hiking in Mexico - http://johnbokma.com/ http://castleamber.com/ - Perl & Python Development
