Yes, helps very much in conveying your philosophy and approach. I have a decent OO background from a few other languages, and this your approach sounds very appealing. Consider the book ordered ! -- Randy -Original Message- >> hope this helps! >> -- wesley - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Re: [Tutor] Bookpool sale on Addison Wesley

Does this book fully integrate 2.4/2.5 language and module additions? The first Python book I read presented core elements from a list-tuple-dictionary perspective. Now that there are Sets, and an array module, I'm interested in a presentation that incorporates those. The help topics are fine, but
