you could look into www.diveintopython.com it is an online book for people 
who are already versed in a prior language.

Python Essential Reference (2nd Edition)


The 3rd ed. came out Feb 2006.

I have also been wondering about a second book to get. I've already got 
"Beginning Python" from Apress, which is good, but very basic.


I'm weighing "Python in a Nutshell" against "Python Essential Reference". In 
one of the customer reviews on the amazon-page (linked to above), someone 
claims: "The Nutshell book documents each function of a module with an 
explanation of how to use it and what to watch out for. It often provides a 
useful example. Beazley, on the other hand, has mostly restated the web docs, 
which are free."


Any opinions on this?

(BTW: When I try to visit diveintopython.com, that someone just mentioned in 
this thread, I get up a web page that has little if anything to do with 
python.)
