I'm not aware of such a list, and I'm not sure it's of much value.
Better to just learn what you need and use it. When you need
to learn more, learn it. The worst thing you can do is study an
arbitrary list of topics that don't have any relevance to
the problems you need to solve!
...
When I was coming up as a Linux guy I took the old SAGE guidelines and
studied each "level" in turn. It was useful for making me a well-rounded
admin and helped me put off some higher end stuff I wasn't really ready
for.

I agree with Leam. If anyone has such a list, I think many of us
would be interested to see it.
Personally, I'd already been a programmer for 30 years when I
first started using Python and Django. I learned them in bits and
pieces, as needed for a 4 year project. I never took time to read
a comprehensive book on either topic. Also, they both evolved
quite a bit during those 4 years, with many new and changed
features. So it's possible that I've completely overlooked some
relatively basic features.
If there were such a list, I'd quickly scan the "basic" section to
what I may have missed. Then, I'd scan the more advanced
sections to what else exists.
It would also be useful when teaching Python to someone else,
to have some guidance about which language constructs are
used most often.
As a quick straw man, here's a syllabus I started whipping up
recently for a Python and Django class I was asked to teach.
- [2]http://bristle.com/Courses/PythonDjangoIntro/syllabus.html
It has 5 main sections:
- Python
- Django
- Possible Advanced Python Topics
- Possible Advanced Django Topics
- Possible Related Topics
The class would be ten weeks, with 6 hours of lecture and 4
hours of lab per week, so I'd hope to cover all of the 1st 2
sections, and perhaps some/all of the last 3 sections.
Feel free to comment on errors, omissions, misplaced items, etc.
Enjoy!
