New WTF do YOU think it has on it...?
Sheesh. Yes, it IS that easy.

Now, the "Learning Python" book is a little different... it has prey on the cover: [link|http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/lpython2/|http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/lpython2/]

There are other books that have rats and stuff on the cover.

The Programming Python book is large and rather difficult to read sequentially. Pretty good as a reference when you want to learn some aspects on a particular subject, but it is not really a book for learning how to program in Python. The Learning Python book is a good sequential read, but lacks a whole lot in terms of breadth. Best read Learning first, and then use Programming as a reference.

Or you could do like admin and just use the freely available web resources to learn the language.

That’s a great, great story. Therefore, it’s too good to be true.
