Having a book is good when you're beginning, but with python (like most open-source projects), the electronic documents are usually more detailed and up to date. I have the O'Reilly "Programming Python" book, and while the stuff on classes is good, she don' mention things like list comprehensions, new class types, iterators or generators (or as someone has pointed out, string methods). Similar situation with blender. Bought the "Blender 2.3 Guide", nearly outdated now, and that's barely two years later.
