Message: [QUOTE="Alan Gauld, post: 1730374"] Its a very good introductory text. It is outdated in that the version it uses is now out of date but 95% (at least) is still perfectly valid and 99% will work as is, there just might be better more recent ways. Python develops at a fairly rapid rate so that any book will go out of date quickly. My own book started using 1.5.1, finished using 1.5.2 but the current version by the time of release was 2.0 (which I put on the CD). You just can't keep up with the changes and write a good book too (IMHO). If you like the style of Core Python stick with it, its as good as any other. Then read the online tutor which gets updated with each language version so you can pick up whats changed. If you don;t like the style then the other suggestions are all valid too. Alan G.
