There really needs to be a centralized "rooms" directory. But in the meantime, this seems to be working well enough for me: http://www.google.com/coop...

For absolute beginners I would say "Learning Python", for experienced programmers just switching languages "Python in a Nutshell". Further down the road, the "Python Cookbook" has a nice collection of examples than can serve as inspiration.

I'm coming from VB.NET, so I'm going to consider myself a beginner. Thank you for the recommendations! I'll be stopping by Borders tonight, so I'll like pick up the "Python in a Nutshell" book. I've got some others in that series and that should compliment very well.

Who needs a book for learning Python? There are so many good sites and there's the official python documentation.

Some of the best advice I've ever been given (and I don't remember who gave it to me!): when I'm trying to learn a subject, the first thing I do is to go to Google and search for "<whatever> tutorial". 95% of the time I'll get a good introduction to the subject on the first page.

There's http://www.diveintopython.org/ and the Python documentation at http://www.python.org/doc/ .Also, on using the Internet, I would say that the only language that I've encountered that you _really_ need a book for is PHP. There are way too many PHP examples on the Internet. Just a public service message. :D
