tooting my own horn, http://corepython.com gets good reviews too. however,
it does target existing programmers who want to learn Python as quickly and
as comprehensively as possible. it's not a good book if you're a beginner
to programming or are looking for a pure reference like PER or Nutshell.
I will have to agree with both Wes and Alan, they provide great
resources. However, the issue you will face is three-fold. You need
to:
1. Write lots of good code.
2. Write lots more good code.
3. Show a whole lot of good code you've written.

Welcome to python help. We are a few volunteers who donate time to assist.
To assist you better:
1 - provide a meaningful subject line - such as "formatting sql"
2 - tell us what OS and Python version you are using.
3 - what is your prior Python experience?

I was under the impression that you have to define the attributes of
the class before using it in an instance. Following the book
'thinking in Python',
>>> class Point:
... """pts in 2d space"""
...
>>> print Point
__main__.Point
>>> b = Point()
>>> b.x =3
>>> b.y =4
>>> print b.y
4
>>>
Why
The book I recommend is Python Programming, Third Edition, for the
Absolute Beginner, by Michael Dawson. It's Python 3 based. You go from
knowing nothing to writing video games. I think it's great.

Normally, sql doesn't care about case with respect to table names. I
believe in certain implementations they are always lower case, even if

Only in some languages. Python is not one of those.
class Point:
... """pts in 2d space"""

b = Point()
b.x =3
b.y =4
print b.
